4. Repubs are like lemmings.
They'll stand up and cheer just like they always do.

6. I won't be home to watch it
To TIVO, or not to TIVO, that is the question.

I think "not to TIVO"

It would just piss me off.

:hi:

7. It is hard
to watch him. It really is. I tend to like most human beings, and to be able to find something good about everyone. But he is one of the most repulsive people I've ever seen.

8. Hey, I can give you the speech right now.
Terra terra, the surge is working, nya nya told ya so, you should have believed me about the war I lied you into. Iran, nuclear, terra terra.

The tax cuts are working, the economy is booming. That's why Congress needs to hurry up and rubber stamp my economic stimulus scheme, which of course is more tax cuts for the wealthy. Make my tax cuts permanent. My rich cronies expect it.

We need to 'reform' Social Security out of existence.

Let's 'reform' health care by shifting all costs from employers to workers.

Let's be bipartisan. Do everything I say.

Something about God to make the fundies happy.

12. just because i do like to see the many faces that he makes (and try to figure out what the state of
his mood is by watching his face) i took to watching him with the mute sound on while unmuting the t.v. from time to time to check myself on the reading of his mood. i got to be pretty accurate about it. i think anyone who tries that as an exercise in reading shrub is pretty accurate too. he is just too damn easy to read. (like you, i can't stand to LISTEN to him).

13. 9pm ET is Mike Malloy time...
...and the gathering of his fans on the DU Truthseeker thread. As he has in the past I am sure Mike will air small portions of the live speech (just until nausea sets in). That will be enough for me.

15. I watched the first one. But it's like Nightmare on Elm Street.
No need to watch the whole series, since they essentially re-run the first one.

16. I won't be doing either.
I'll be playing a board game with, and reading to, my grandson.

Then I'll curl up with a good book.

I'm already well-aware of the state of the union.

21. Haven't watched, or cared, for years.
Only true believers and masochists turn into the duopoly's little sideshows.

Set your mind free: tune out!

30. I'll watch it.
It's hard for me to believe someone is informed if they are not listening to both sides of the argument- even if one of those sides is ridiculously evil. That whole "know your enemy" thing applies.
