Are you going to watch the State of the Union speech tonight?
I'm NOT! I will watch the food network, HGTV, or anything else. I don't need to agrivate my last nerve that bad!

2. Only if I need to throw up!
If I were to watch the state of delusion tonight, I would become deathly ill.
I would not allow that filth into my house where it would expose my children the lies bu$h propagates.

3. Hell no. I have all my replacement parts coming in for my broken
computer. I'll be rebuilding that tonight. I'll probably put a DVD in while I do that. . . I just got The Village from Netflix, so maybe I'll watch that while I build.

one drink for each "freedom" :beer:

two for each "liberty":beer: :beer:

three for each "9-11" (or any derivative form of).:beer: :beer: :beer:

If Junior's speech is anything like his coronation, you'll be shitfaced in 15 minutes!

As much as it will nauseate me, there are still some Bush voters I know who may not be too far gone. When things get bad we will need every friend, and I have to hear what this monkey is saying to argue his decptions.

I can't watch * but just knowing that he's on will spur me to do more activist work!

47. VOTE is Voters for Open and Transparent Elections
We are a group of folks who are focusing on the election fraud and election reform.

We are building a network of Progressive and other groups who want to work towards election reform. We are also amassing a large database of information to help us with our cause, including contact info for:

All elected officials - state, federal, local
Media outlets
Progressive and other groups

Send me an email to arnheim@domainofarnheim.com or PM me. I'll send you an invitation.

We are always looking for folks to help us gather data, make calls, do research, etc.

16. No. For the first time in 20+ years, I'm willfully avoiding it.
I tolerated Ronnie Raygun's bag-of-hammers stupidity, Poppy Bush's wimpiness, Billy-Jeff's triangulation, and for three years, the PNAC puppet act we know as Jeebus W. Bush.

I listened to their STFU... er, SOTU addresses because I felt it was my duty as a patriotic American citizen.

This year I will be watching a rented DVD, not because I can't tolerate hearing more whoppers, tall tales, and fibs from Jeebus. Rather, I just can't stomach the idea of my Democratic "opposition" cheering ANYTHING that ratfucker has to say.

Maybe next year. But not this year. I'll read a transcript; it'll take about 1/10 the time.

I'll try to see if I can make it through the entire speech without yelling at, then breaking, the TV.

Like his speech a week ago, I just want to hear what kind of imperial rhetoric he has this time.

I don't think so. Bush** never does anything he says anyway, why would anyone care what he says?

And I sure as hell don't want to see Dems being "civil" when they should either boycott the speech or walk out.

33. Nah, The State of the Union speech has been replaced with
"The State of What's Left of the Union that We Who Have a Mandate are Willing to Admit to At This Time With the Understanding All Statements, Promises, Assertions, and Reasons for War May be Disallowed, Unremembered, or Blamed on Someone Else When the Occasions Arise" Speech. THAT'S the one that will be on TV tonight. I still won't be watching. I have a terrible reaction to sycophants and liars, it makes me want to hurl and curse at the same time. Lord knows the media shills will regurgitate the mumbles of the Chimp for the next several days so we will all get the opportunity to hear how bad things are going to be for the next four years without actually having to listening to the fool himself.

39. Of course; I love bad theatre, and it'll be a Leonard Pimpf-Garnell doozy
Last year's was SO bad: it was idiotic and chickenshit (didn't even mention Mars) with feeble attempts to grandstand about things of great import like sports doping. The one before had the ring of history to it, knowing as I did when watching that he was lying with every clunky intonation.

He's got absolutely no poetry in his soul, and his rhetorical skills rival those of Sy Sperling (he's the guy...from the...hair club...for men) with an inability to capture the spirit of a phrase or say more than six syllables without a falling inflection. He then takes a small pause and limps on with another fragment, and so on.

Tonight he'll be in fine form: beaming and smirking as he basks in the endless applause of the accolytes.

Eat afterwards, if you can; it's too risky to do it before...

That should be far more pleasant than listening to *.

Tomorrow is trash day, too, so I'll be hauling garbage out to the end of my driveway after I finish the chore with the litterbox.

I figure both tasks will have a better smell to them than the SOTU.
