Looking for link to SotU Bingo Cards
Somewhere, out there, someone has selected Bush phrases generated on printable Bingo cards. These were prepared for the State of the Union.

I can't find the link that someone posted about a week ago. Googling didn't help. Anyone have that link?

Someone did the same during the debates and it was a wonderful to involve my kids. We sat around and played the game, discussing the issues and what the phrases meant versus what they actually said - it was great discussion - plus it almost makes something like the travesty we will surely witness tonight nearly bearable to watch.

thanks in advance.

2. There was also supposed to be a SOTU Drinking Game out there
somewhere. Can't find it. Of course, it may be part of the Oval Office routine by now. Anybody know?
