To my Conservative Friends:

After the Earth-Shattering election of Scott Brown last week in Tax-achussetts for the drunken, murdering slob Ted Kennedy's Senate seat I watched all the lib-tard stations for their take and to watch them eat their own. I tell you it was quite entertaining. I watched the "handsome" Rachel Mad-Cow justify the ignorance of the electorate and I watched Chris "thrill up my leg" Matthews say the people voted for pre-meditated murder of "Health-Care for All"! Yes, all the DNC, state-controlled media stations had their reasons and justifications so as to not aspire any blame on the Chosen One or his policies.

But the best "head in the sand" moment came from the...

Well.....darn it! *sigh*

Thanks for letting me know! :)

I can’t, for some odd reason my TV turns off when he speaks.

The SOTU address is the funniest "production" on TV bar none. Just look how far we come:

Fellow Citizens of the Senate and House of Representatives:

I embrace with great satisfaction the opportunity which now presents itself of congratulating you on the present favorable prospects of our public affairs. The recent accession of the important state of north Carolina to the Constitution of the United States (of which official information has been received), the rising credit and respectability of our country, the general and increasing good will toward the government of the Union, and the concord, peace, and plenty with which we are blessed are circumstances auspicious in an eminent degree to our national prosperity.

In resuming your consultations for the general good you can not but derive encouragement from the reflection that the measures of the last session have been as satisfactory to your constituents as the novelty and difficulty of the work allowed you to hope. Still further to realize their expectations and to secure the blessings which a gracious Providence has placed within our reach will in the course of the present important session call for the cool and deliberate exertion of your patriotism, firmness, and wisdom.

Among the many interesting objects which will engage your attention that of providing for the common defense will merit particular regard. To be prepared for war is on e of the most effectual means of preserving peace.

A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies.

The proper establishment of the troops which may be deemed indispensable will be entitled to mature consideration. In the arrangements which may be made respecting it it will be of importance to conciliate the comfortable support of the officers and soldiers with a due regard to economy.

There was reason to hope that the pacific measures adopted with regard to certain hostile tribes of Indians would have relieved the inhabitants of our southern and western frontiers from their depredations, but you will perceive from the information contained in the papers which I shall direct to be laid before you (comprehending a communication from the Commonwealth of Virginia) that we ought to be prepared to afford protection to those parts of the Union, and, if necessary, to punish aggressors.

The interests of the United States require that our intercourse with other nations should be facilitated by such provisions as will enable me to fulfill my duty in that respect in the manner which circumstances may render most conducive to the public good, and to this end that the compensation to be made to the persons who may be employed should, according to the nature of their appointments, be defined by law, and a competent fund designated for defraying the expenses incident to the conduct of foreign affairs.

Various considerations also render it expedient that the terms on which foreigners may be admitted to the rights of citizens should be speedily ascertained by a uniform rule of naturalization.

Uniformity in the currency, weights, and measures of the United States is an object of great importance, and will, I am persuaded, be duly attended to.

The advancement of agriculture, commerce, and manufactures by all proper means will not, I trust, need recommendation; but I can not forbear intimating to you the expediency of giving effectual encouragement as well to the introduction of new and useful inventions from abroad as to the exertions of skill and genius in producing them at home, and of facilitating the intercourse between the distant parts of our country by a due attention to the post-office and post-roads.

Nor am I less persuaded that you will agree with me in opinion that there is nothing which can better deserve your patronage than the promotion of science and literature. Knowledge is in every country the surest basis of public happiness. In one in which the measures of government receive their impressions so immediately from the sense of the community as in ours it is proportionably essential.

To the security of a free constitution it contributes in various ways - by convincing those who are intrusted with the public administration that every valuable end of government is best answered by the enlightened confidence of the people, and by teaching the people themselves to know and to value their own rights; to discern and provide against invasions of them; to distinguish between oppression and the necessary exercise of lawful authority; between burthens proceeding from a disregard to their convenience and those resulting from the inevitable exigencies of society; to discriminate the spirit of liberty from that of licentiousness - cherishing the first, avoiding the last - and uniting a speedy but temperate vigilance against encroachments, with an inviolable respect to the laws.

Whether this desirable object will be best promoted by affording aids to seminaries of learning already established, by the institution of a national university, or by any other expedients will be well worthy of a place in the deliberations of the legislature.

Gentlemen of the House of Representatives:

I saw with peculiar pleasure at the close of the last session the resolution entered into by you expressive of your opinion that an adequate provision for the support of the public credit is a matter of high importance to the national honor and prosperity. In this sentiment I entirely concur; and to a perfect confidence in your best endeavors to devise such a provision as will be truly with the end I add an equal reliance on the cheerful cooperation of the other branch of the legislature.

It would be superfluous to specify inducements to a measure in which the character and interests of the United States are so obviously so deeply concerned, and which has received so explicit a sanction from your declaration.

Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives:

I have directed the proper officers to lay before you, respectively, such papers and estimates as regard the affairs particularly recommended to your consideration, and necessary to convey to you that information of the state of the Union which it is my duty to afford.

The welfare of our country is the great object to which our cares and efforts ought to be directed, and I shall derive great satisfaction from a cooperation with you in the pleasing though arduous task of insuring to our fellow citizens the blessings which they have a right to expect from a free, efficient, and EQUAL (Emphasis mine) government.

especially after the invention of the television, satellites, and calculators (To add up all the "promises"). Democrat or Republican, each SOTU speech is pure comedy gold after they took that public credit thing "a little too far".

NO I'll puke if I hear he's 'fighting for me' one more time when he's waging WAR on my SS/Medicare/Tricare.

The new Demonrat mantra! Woof, woof, let granny eat dog food...spoof on 'let them eat cake'. obama's war on seniors

See the links in post 43-46 and on the last page.

Expanding support for families balancing work with caring for elderly relatives with a $102.5 million Caregiver Initiative adding $52.5 million in funding to Department of Health and Human Services caregiver support programs that provide temporary respite care, counseling, training, and referrals to critical services. The administration says the extra funding will allow nearly 200,000 additional caregivers to be served and 3 million more hours of respite care to be provided. It also adds $50 million to programs that provide transportation help, adult day care, and in-home services, such as aides to help seniors bathe and cook, help which eases the burden for family members and helps seniors stay in their homes.

That's a polite excuse for saying the jackass party won't seat him yet and you know it. Brown simply does not want to be confrontational at this point considering the constituency which elected him.

Let's say you get a promotion at work. Are you going to refuse the new corner office because you still have work left to do in your old cubicle?

[bridgemanusa]

Not happening in my house.

[In God I trust]

Not a chance! I can’t watch this guy at all.

[kacres]

Nope, it’s Ghost Hunters for me!

[Redleg Duke]

I would, but I have a better offer. The local dairy farmer is cleaning out the milking room today and will be spreading the residue on his corn field.

He said I could walk behind and measure the throw distances.

[Spirochete]

50 minutes of worn-out cliches, bromides, platitudes, and general left-wing verbal diarrhea.

No, I'll pass.

[Artcore]

I have better things to do than watch this creep lie his A$$ off for an hour!

I’ll probably check out Michell Malkin’s play-by-play on her site. This guys voice just makes my skin crawl!

[Vigilanteman]

While sitting on the can last night, I started reading a fasincating book called Eichmann in my Hands which I picked up for fifty cents at a recent library book sale. It was written back in the 1990's by one of the Israeli agents which captured Adolph Eichmann.

Tonight would be a good time to read some more while my butt is pointed toward Washington, DC and Mecca while doing my business.

[SgtSki]

No. Wednsday is hide the weiner night with the wife. Is this politically correct to say?

[Vigilanteman]

No, I'll pass.

So will I. See post #73.

[RacerXSpeedRacer]

Me neither.

Sit there and listen to the constant democRAT applause? Constantly be forced to look at that scary old lady sitting there behind “O”? Listen to empty talking points?

I have better things to do with my time.

[ritpg]

Hell yeah I'm going to watch! I've got $10 riding on the repeated phrase of the speech contest. And besides, where else can get to watch a megalomaniac destroy himself?

[sarasota]

I won’t look or listen to this poseur. And when I see his or his wife’s photos in a magazine, I quickly turn the page.

[DarthVader]

No, I would rather watch reruns of Gilligan’s Island.

[1scrappymom]

Nope, it doesn’t come with a laugh track. Too bad he won’t spontaneously combust from saying all those lies.
Even with the drinking games being discussed, I don’t think that listening to this drivel drunk will make it sound any better.
