Aaron offered his take on Tuesday night's State of the Union address yesterday. I think President Obama declared war on China and could have made a more concrete statement about taxing the wealthy by bringing a copy of Mitt Romney's tax returns—specifically, how little he's paying in taxes on what is essentially pure investment income— and gone Nikita Khrushchev at the United Nations at the podium and repeatedly asked, "Really, bitches?"

Or he could have channeled George Harrison and sang this mashup.
