[Evan from Evansville]

YES!

[Hugh Akston]

Oh Dear Galt, how do I turn off the internet?

[Son of SOPA]

I can do that for you.

[Joe M]

Yikes.

Between this and the two GOP debates today and Thursday, it's going to be a very boozy week indeed.

[El Commentariosa]

My liver can't handle that!

[poetry]

i'll handle your liver

[poetry]

i'll offend your sex

I've already posted the SOTU drinking game: See how long it takes before you need a drink. I'll be in negative numbers, but I'll also be on a plane, so I'm kind of screwed.

[Warty]

Serious question: how can you people tolerate listening to a President?

[Hugh Akston]

Simple: peaches

[Joe M]

Oh, darn. I thought that was a song by the artists Peaches titled "Presidents of the USA". I was really looking forward to some electrofilth.

[Hugh Akston]

Now that you mention it, there is another good way to get rid of the pain of the SOTU.

[Episiarch]

I would also like the answer to this question. I can't even put it on on mute without wanting to shoot my TV.

[Dagny T.]

Candyass. What, are you saying you lacked the intestinal fortitude to listen to Steven Tyler butcher the national anthem yesterday? Man up and give in to the pain.

[El Commentariosa]

I thought that was an episode of the Simpsons.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Patriotism.

[poetry]

i'll patriot your ism

[Fist of Etiquette]

I'll pat your riotism.

[The Other Kevin]

Personally, I can't. Even with live blogging and drinking games. Tomorrow night I will be watching Blackhawks vs. Predators, which will not be pre-empted. All I need to know about the SOTU I will find out from Wednesday's AM Links.

[DL]

Some don't:

[Hugh Akston]

Man, what a douche. The very least punishment you should have to endure for being an elected official is the enhanced interrogation that is the SOTU.

[Joe M]

He's also objecting to Obama's decision on the Keystone XL pipeline...

Great!

...and cuts to defense spending, his office said.

Never mind.

[poetry]

That's just his excuse. Really, he's got a suitcase full of coke and a fifth-grade basketball team waiting for him back in Colorado. Sniffin' and diddlin' all night.

[You People]

Serious answer: We love a parade!

[Brandon]

Goddammit. This piece of shit again already? Guess I'll have to wait and watch the new episode of "Shameless" tomorrow night.

[El Commentariosa]

I bet he won't even mention Ron Paul.

[Spencer]

Reason is really a leftist conspiracy to kill libertarian minded individuals with alcohol poisoning! It's all SOOOOO clear now!

[Jerry]

Because you have been poisoned with libertarianism.

[Pro Libertate]

The Era of Big Government is over!

[R C Dean]

All hail the Era of Huge Government!

[poetry]

i'll govern your big era, baby

[Barack Obama]

Let Me Absolutely Clear: The Era of Big Government is Over.

[Soggy Jestion]

"There are those/some who say ...."

Drink!

[poetry]

oh fuck that'll kill everybody except rather

[JEP]

I can watch the President and the debates just fine...with some alcohol involved.

What really gets my goat is watching the pundits and the interviews with voters afterwards. That I can't handle. I was yelling at my TV while I was all alone on Saturday at the dumbasses CNN was interviewing in Florida.

"Oh, I changed my vote to Newt because I like what he says about the economy...and stuff."

"Well, I think Newt has the best chance against Obama in a debate." In order to have a debate, you presumably need at least two people on different sides of an issue.

[cynical]

"Oh, I changed my vote to Newt because I like what he says about the economy...and stuff."

See, that's Ron Paul's problem -- all that fag talk about not killing people and economics and shit.

[Jerry]

So who is going to live tweet the Romney tax returns?

[Timothy Geithner]

** meekly raises hand **

[Soggy Jestion]

Any mention/portrayal of a citizen/hero ....

Drink!

[old fart]

"I'm here to discuss the state of the union and it is strong"

half a bottle.

[Lotta Guise]

Any Joe Biden smile that shows teeth.

[Not Gonna Happen]

"I will not be seeking re-election" - Drink

[Not Gonna Happen]

"Let Me Be Clear"

[Anonymous Coward]

I have two bottles of rum and an ambulance on speed-dial.

Bring it on, Barry!

[P Brooks]

Don't forget to stock up on your beverage of choice for this year's edition of the State of the Union drinking game! (Coming soon to a blog near you.)

Hemlock seems appropriate.

[P Brooks]

how can you people tolerate listening to a President?

I think the last time I listened to a Presidential address intentionally was when Nixon quit.

Fuck those doubletalking cocksuckers. Each and every one of them.
