Especially conspicuous at this year’s State of His Ego address will be the presence of Muslims.

Muslims will receive a special shout out.

No it won’t, because I have no intention to watch, or listen to it. I have better things to do.

I didn’t know Moses had a speech impediment?

Nor do I. I’m going to do something constructive like rearranging my shoe trees.

Exodus 4:10

But Moses said to the LORD, "Oh, my Lord, I am not eloquent, either in the past or since you have spoken to your servant, but I am slow of speech and of tongue."

I’d rather be read Vogon poetry in an amplification chamber.

Thanks. I guess I never interpreted that as speech impediment. But it could be.

Article V is to the nation as the 2A is to the individual.

The whole thing has become stupid - fodder for DC talking heads

If I were Prez, I would simply cancel the whole State of the Union speech entirely.

It is Congress that invites the president to speak. It’s Congress that could end this travesty once and for all.

If you are allowed to applaud, you should be allowed to boo.

I much prefer the UK’s Prime Minister Questioning. The members of Parliament are allowed to ask questions of the PM and the members are free to express approval/disapproval however they want.

You can catch them on C-span.

I hope Michelle wears something more appropriate for the occasion. Some of her SOTU outfits have been more appropriate for a night club.

“It is Congress that invites the president to speak. It’s Congress that could end this travesty once and for all.”

Exactly. Paul Ryan controls the venue as it is in the House. He could certainly set the rules he wishes to ensure no empty seats and who gets invites.

Better things to do — Yes, my sock drawer desperately needs to be re-arranged.

I’m sure there are plenty of things that would appall TJ more.
