This evening the president address congress at 9pm (EST?) 2am GMT, anyone going to watch this ?

I'll have it on just to see some republicans squirming in their seats, maybe some of the less classy ones will do something impolite, maybe Ted Nugent will be seen giving the president the V-sign hidden behind his other hand ?  :P

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Well I'll watch now, just to spite Garbon, I shall imagine him and other closet republicans supping their (damn, what the hell is the expression I'm looking for)  :D

I predict the president will say something to "praise˝the market economy, but only as a pretext to criticising it.  He'll also tell us he's a strong supporter of the 2nd amendment and then go on about how we need to curtail gun rights.

Also what are the odds on Ted Nugent getting on camera?

Very high. 

Really he'd be daft to turn up, as it would be easy to play any off facial expression as sneering/impolite and if he's impeccably behaved some one might characterise that as timidity in the face of the presidents gun control proposals.

Personally I think he's a bit of a tool and deserves a bad press.

Hey if you are looking for a boring way to kill time, can I get you to do my taxes? Just follow the instructions provided in the pdf; mine aren't complicated.

I predict Republicans will be bitter that he won the election and has widespread support for both those positions.

In fairness he never campaigned on gun control. I thought the right had entirely won that argument (and they have for the last decade or so), but I think Sandy Hook changed that.

I wonder if any of them will scream names at him during the speech.  Again.  Also there is going to be two rebuttals.  One from the GOP and one from the Tea Party.  The one from the GOP will be done twice, once in English and once in Spanish.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You'd hope so, huh. Unfortunately for you whatever bounce the gun control crowd got from Sandy Hook isn't as strong as it might appear. Gun control is way down the list in terms of importance in public opinion.

As if inviting Ted Nugent to the State of the Union speech that will highlight Sandy Hook isn't tasteless enough, why not continue playing to type and shout down the illegitimate negro.
