The State of Cube City

It's time for Cube City's annual State of the Union address, an hour-long reflection on the company's performance over the last year. I dread it.

There are a few differences between the State of the Union address in Cube City and the government. In Cube City:
  1. We usually don't get to hear an address from a newly elected President.
  2. We are not Congress. We just hear what the President's got to say and we have to go with it...rather than "consider" it. There are no choices in Cube City.
  3. There are a lot more VPs at the address (and everywhere else).
  4. We don't applaud the President before, during, or even after the speech...unless we're totally kissing ass or have other self-serving motives.
  5. None of the opposing parties have the nerve to speak up with a rebuttal.

This is the State of Cube City.
