I have now written this post 20 times

In the 20+(!!!!!) years that I have run this taco stand, I have not been very consistent about anything. Remember when I never used capital letters? Or when I had this weird February 15th Turkish Star Trek tradition? When I used to plug other people's blogs? Or when other people had blogs? Almost all the old shit I did has been replaced by new shit, or no shit at all, or new shit that isn't replacing anything.

My point is that the only constant in life is change, except that I will always, every year, put up a whiny post about how much I hate the State of the Union Address. I really have done it every freaking year since this place launched in mid-2003. I even complained about the SOTU from Kazakhstan. That's how important this issue is to me.

Sometimes my SOTU post will be half assed and sometimes it will be full assed. But the anti-SOTUism is my one constant, even when everyone is saying that Biden did a really good job last night. My beef is not about any particular SOTU performance, it is that the SOTU is nothing more than a performance. That is terrible even when the performance is good.
