State of the Union

Woo-whee! Everyone get some snack food ready and some drinks because the State of the Union address is tonight. Definately will need drinks for that. Likely alcoholic ones, hard alcohol preferable.

Honestly, I really am looking forward to hearing this. I mean, damn, how the hell is this going to be spun?

Afganistan is still a mess.
Iraq just became a religious state and no WMD were ever found.
Palestine elected Hamas ( who the US considers a terrorist group ) to their government.
Hurricane Katrina was handled miserably.
Hurricane Katrina also showed off a lot of the cronyism that is going on.
Whats-her-name his Supreme Court nominee before Alito was also cronyism.
Torture! Good, bad, or do we just outsource it?
Wiretapping and privacy in the US.
Abramahoff and all the fun corruption surrounding him.
Scooter Libby / Dick Cheney and the CIA leak.
Al-qaeda's latest video tape that really just mocked Bush.

Which is just the fun screw-ups and unfinished things that have drug through the last year that I can think of off of the top of my head alone. I mean, how do you spin all of that or do you just blow through it and give a speach and pretend none of that is happening and ramble on about some Axis of Evil again?

Quick, let's make up a State of the Union drinking game!

I'll start: every time Bush mentions God or talks about 'moral duty', take a drink.

Oh my god... I am going to be so entirely frickin' sloshed before the first fifteen minutes are even up... Those the rules they have there are a little complex, and I imagine before I am even slightly drunk I'll loose track of them as I'll be drinking just to soothe the pain of listening to 'Merica' or 'nukular'.

And wait, there is something he can call an accomplishment, Alito got nominated to the Supreme Court ( do we refer to this as the 'Death of Roe vs Wade' now, or wait until it actually happens... ). Just can he spin an entire State of the Union address around that one successful accomplishment?
