Sorry to hear about that. I've been in his position when I lost my second wife to mental illness. I'll add them to my prayer list.

You know, I think ol' LibertyBelt got too many of us thinking about the wrong part of the SOTU address. We've had plenty of time to hash Iraq out and most of us here are well on board.

I have to say -- and hope that I'm not seen as a Bush-basher at all -- that there are some parts of the speech that do not seem even remotely conservative. Specifically the education and environmental policies are two things that come to mind.

Did any of it bother you? I think it was a political winner, but I do think that he's giving up an awful lot of conservative principles to gain political leverage (if that's what's going on).

Here's someone who goes pretty far in criticizing the speech as not being nearly conservative enough:
