State of the Union Address

[VertigoGal]

has he said "evildoers" yet? That usually sends me into fits of laughter...maybe I should be watching after all...it's just that it's the one about Saddam and Satan and the boys' first communion.

Earnie Shavers...I've seen drinking games online for these things. This one's pretty funny

Haha Bush made a funny.

hillary makes my skin crawl

Tell us what you really think

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Tell us what you really think

i would but sicy would probably yell at me for cursing too much

 

[Axver]

I hate this man more with every word he says.

 

[the rockin edge]

you can't, your not strong enough

strong enough to watch bush give a "speech"?

i don't think strength has much to do with it

 

[U2Girl1978]

Can they let him finish what he's saying?? They keep clapping after every freakin sentence!

 

[Earnie Shavers]

Bush speeches are computer generated, I'm sure. About 20 catchphrases on 20 topics were written 6 years ago, and they are randomly generated in a different order for each speech. On Iraq for example, exactly when has he given a speech that you watch/listen to and come away from thinking "Well that answered that". Never. Just those catchphrases recycled in a different order. I assume it's the same on domestic topics as well.

He either has woeful speech writers or nobody trusts that he's believable unless he's speaking in symplistic bumper sticker soundbites.

 

[pattip2000]

Hooray for the Internet, it allows me to feel queasy by listening to a speech in the US!

Axver,
what are you thinking, I’m sure you have some thoughts, right?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

heh heh... evildoers

 

[Axver]

I am going to make a *applause* post about how *applause* I love the people who *applause* are applauding at random *applause* moments.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

bush is asking for research to get rid of oil in houses and cars... yup... he's never running for office again.

 

[A_Wanderer]

There is a pause - applause system.

Tech solutions to oil dependency

Advanced Energy Initiative - he is just ripping off John Howard's clean coal systems.

 

[U2Girl1978]

Axver

 

[Axver]

There is a pause - applause system.

My new theory is that people are applauding the pauses because it means Bush isn't speaking. What he is saying is hardly worthy of any applause at all.

 

[A_Wanderer]

Mathematics and science education - hard to rollout but good in principle.

 

[U2Girl1978]

Weeeeeee...

 

[A_Wanderer]

Faith based mathematics programs.

0 = 1

The usual Republican tactic is for the President to make the promises, while the Republican Congress subsequently refuses to fund it come the following year. This is nothing out of the ordinary.

[Axver]

'Freedom' again!

good point

 

[A_Wanderer]

Fewer teenage abortions and fewer teenage mothers

 

[U2Girl1978]

Alright! 15 Freedoms!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

all this talk about how great we are reminds me of a lewis black line...

"america is the only country on earth that feels the need to remind everyone that they're the greatest country on earth, and that is pretty god damned obnoxious. if you had a coworker who would come in every day and yell 'i'm the greatest of them all, and all you sniviling shits would die without me hahahahaha', within 2 weeks, you would kill him... and eat him, just to consume his powers."

 

[A_Wanderer]

Uh oh, activist courts!

 

[Axver]

Fewer teenage abortions and fewer teenage mothers

Stop aborting the teenagers!

 

[Earnie Shavers]

Fewer teenage abortions and fewer teenage mothers

lol... gay adoption, for teenagers?

"Equal justice under the law" = making sure every ruling does not offend the wishes of conservative white men.

[Tarvark]

New catch phrases: Isolationism, Weapons of Mass Murder, and Bill Clinton.

I loved the standing ovation to "Last year I could not get my social security initative through"

 

[pattip2000]

Alright! 15 Freedoms!

that seems low
