Via Drudge, I now see that the experts have been counting Pelosi eye blinks, and timing McCain's little snooze.

Ah, the vital issues this country faces!

While I noticed these "issues" last night, I was trying to be funny when I commented on them, and I did not mean to imply that they were of urgent national importance.

But suppose I said the following, in my usual sarcastic manner:

If Pelosi's blinking is any indication of what's going on with the Democrats, and if McCain's snoozing is any indication of what's going on with the Republicans, that suggests all is not well with the state of the union.

I honestly don't know. Normally, it wouldn't have occurred to me. Perhaps I shouldn't be reading comments.
