I spent most of last night very ill, shivering in a sweater and under blankets, and not even trying anything as radical as food. Fortunately, while I get sick with some frequency, it doesn't tend to last long, and I am back at work today. I did, however, go to bed at 9 p.m., so I missed the State of the Union, but if you've heard one you've heard them all--great country, standing ovation, could be doing better, but look at all we've done, great country, God, standing ovation. For still more cynical takes, check out the lefty blogs I'm now linking to.
