Yikes.

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

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.

Serious question: how can you people tolerate listening to a President?
1. Hugh Akston 15 years ago
  
  Simple: peaches
  1. Joe M 15 years ago
    
    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.

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

  I would also like the answer to this question. I can't even put it on on mute without wanting to shoot my TV.
  1. Dagny T. 15 years ago
    
    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.
    1. El Commentariosa 15 years ago
      
      I thought that was an episode of the Simpsons.

  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.

    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.
  2. Joe M 15 years ago
    
    He's also objecting to Obama's decision on the Keystone XL pipeline...
    
    Great!
    
    ...and cuts to defense spending, his office said.
    
    Never mind.
  3. poetry 15 years ago
    
    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.

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

I bet he won't even mention Ron Paul.

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

JEP 15 years ago

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.

  "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.

Hemlock seems appropriate.

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.
