Getting an early nap so you can be fully alert during the speech? Good plan.

[PRC]

The state of our Union is strong, blah blah blah.

Why don't they go back to that, I wonder? I guess the administrations just think the air time is too valuable a platform to pass up.

Also it's a chance for Republican pomp and circumstance. All Congress sat together; the President walking in shaking hands with the Speaker; a few Supreme Court Justices sat in the front row. I mean it's the most tedious ceremonial but that's still probably part of why it happens.

They should have a plot board based on the Congressional seating chart, so you can place bets on which GOP negro-hater is going to interrupt him.

All branches of the government in the same room?  What if the Russians found out?

[Ed Anger]

They'll see the big board!

[MadImmortalMan]

Anybody know the over/under on the number of times Urkel says "workin' folks"?

Urkel

What, out of code words already this week?  Used up "thug" too early?

[Admiral Yi]

I'm going to say zero.  That's not SOTU caliber language.  More like a pep rally in front of union stooges.

Over/under on "hard working middle class Americans" (or some variant) is six.

Looks like you missed it on the other thread so I figured I'd repeat it here for your benefit
