Rate My Union |
Now that the president has spoken and we finally know the state of the union, only one question remains: How does the state of our union match up against that of other prominent unions?
Rate My Union
| USA | Forest Moon of Endor | Our Town (aka Grover’s Corners) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Housing Crisis | Mortgage defaults crippling housing market | Tree beetles crippling tree-housing market | Houses are superficial possessions that only confuse the mind of the living |
| Economic Stimulus Plan | Tax rebate checks | Stay away from Greedo | Sound effect cue: cash register ringing |
| Enduring Legacy | Revisionist history | Lucasfilm special editions | Sixth grade school plays |
| Immigration Issues | Mexicans | Imperial fleets, Mexicans | Catholics, Mexicans |
| Health Care Problems | The high price of prescription drugs | Out of network Jedi Masters | Talking ghosts reminding us of our own mortality |
| Environment Concerns | Ocean temperatures rising steadily | Humid Forrest Moon Summers + Furry Overcoat = Ewok Swamp Ass | Chairs, tables and ladders |
| The War | We’ve got to give the surge more time | We’ve got to give Han more time | The Stage Manager looks at his watch: “Hm… eleven o’clock.” |
| Lingering Questions | Where’s Osama? | Which one of you is Wicket? | When’s intermission? |
