With last night's State of the Union Address, the United States officially entered into its seventh year under the watchful eye of George W. Bush. However, this year, things will be a little different. It seems that somebody let a bunch of Democrats into Capitol Hill. There was even a Democrat  seated over the President's left shoulder. And she had a vagina! This isn't your fat uncle Denny's Capitol Hill.

So, what is the state of the union. Well, the president's mood ring is pink, so that either means the union is Strong or, possibly, Hungry. Either would apply equally.

In case you didn't get to watch last night, you can see the full speech here. But we don't recommend it. Everybody keeps their clothes on, and it's boring. So, we took a friend's advice and decided to utilize Word's Auto Summarize feature to really cut down to the bone of Bush's speech. Then we auto-summarized the auto-summary. We did that a few times, and came up with these simple bullet points:

• First, I propose a standard tax deduction for health insurance that will be like the standard tax deduction for dependents.
• Families with health insurance will pay no income on payroll taxes -- or payroll taxes -- on $15,000 of their income.
• We need to help small businesses through association health plans.
• Extending hope and opportunity depends on a stable supply of energy that keeps America's economy running and America's environment clean.
• In Iraq, multnational forces are operating under a mandate from the United Nations.
• Julie represents the great enterprising spirit of America.

What does it all mean? And who is Julie? When we tried to auto-summarize it again, the whole speech vanished into thin air.

Also of note: Take a look at the New York Times' cool/creepy interactive SOTU word finder to see how many times different words have been used over the years. The most interesting word used by W this year was "hybrid." In the past two years, he's used it three times: twice referring to cars and once referring to unholy human/animal chimera-beasts.
