James Madison ftw.

Ted and Brak will play Stranglehold.

derspiess is going to air guitar "Cat Scratch Fever" with his AR-15 in his camo tank top. 

Already there, friend.  PICS TO FOLLOW

I just bet.  With authentic beer stains as well, since I'm sure it's tough to drink your brew and breathe through your mouth at the same time.

God damn Woodrow Wilson

God damn Woodrow Wilson

No shit.

Although considering the sheer lack of respect of the office this President gets from Congress, I give him kudos for doing anything more than wrapping it around a brick and tossing out the car window on his way to Andrews AFB.

Best Nugent tune to air guitar is Great White Buffalo.

Nah, not drinking tonight.  It's still Cincinnati Beer Week, but I gotta pace myself.  Imperial Stout tapping tomorrow

A bit unexpected that W's 2005 was the highest rated since Reagan's 1983, and not beaten unless you go back to Carter in 1981.

Maybe Sandy Hook can be Obama's 9/11.  Sure, he didn't campaign on gun control, but it might be a good time to use the time to eliminate some of the more dangerous elements of American society.

And nobody does worse than Lincoln's 1862 until Wilson.

It's not better or worse. Personally I think expressing ideas in simple language is more impressive than indulging in florid prose.

I definitely disagree. What is this - some sort of gross populist forum?

[Razgovory]

Would a "reading level" scale be useful if you used it to compare speeches over the course of 200 years?

Well, Lincoln had to rally the masses to the colors.

They're politicians operating in a representative republic with universal suffrage, so yes, yes it is.
