Today is a momentous day indeed. My dad would have been 89 today, if it hadn’t been for him dying and all. It’s too bad he isn’t still around. Martin Luther King Jr would have been 80 today, if it hadn’t been for him getting shot back in ’68. Tough year, 1968. And this day is the day that George W. Bush has picked to sully with his farewell address to the nation. It would be pretty funny if none of the networks carried whatever he has to say (except for Fox News, of course). Maybe he’ll apologize for fucking things up so bad. Maybe he’ll tell us the real story of the pretzel incident. Or perhaps he’ll tell us he’s sorry he never caught Osama. Or maybe he’ll go out being the same arrogant piece of crap that he’s always been.

Whatever. Personally, I won’t be watching. I just wish the asshole was gone already. And I wish he hadn’t picked my dad’s birthday for this.
