Anyone else NOT watching the State of the Union?

[NightWatcher]

I can guess what Obama will say, I can assume what the pukes and baggers will retort. I'd wager 50/50 that some asshole will boo or yell something out...

Best of all, if anything happens, I'll see it here and hear it tomorrow on the news.

I'm still a little burned out on politics, namely the politics of the assholes on the right.

[Brickbat]

1. Me. Cleaning up after supper, taking kids to hockey practice, and watching the Wild.

And even if I weren't doing all that, I wouldn't watch it.

[we can do it]

2. Going to workout, will watch later

[dorkzilla]

3. Much as I hate to miss it normally,

I'm burned out, too. That, and I pulled my back out shoveling snow and the muscle relaxer I took will take me to the land of nod in approximately 2 minute s.

[graywarrior]

4. I may pass on it

Political burn out hurts.

[amuse bouche]

5. I detest baggers too

but I read the Prez is going to give them a smack down. So I must watch, plus I love watching him speak

[elfin]

6. Going to record, but not watch real time

Yea DVR, Downton Abbey for this geezer.

Count on DU for highlights and excellent commentary.

[Tien1985]

7. Me.

I'll see the blow by blow here, and for the rest, that's what transcripts are for.

I'll read it in a whole lot less time than he'll speak it.

I'm actually more interested in the cabin/forest fire situation.

[otohara]

8. Nope, Watching ...

always watch this president, I never watched Bush.

[cherokeeprogressive]

9. I'll catch the highlights in the morning before work...

Burned out on politics here as well. That kind of politics anyway.

[Honeycombe8]

10. I'm watching. I don't think it'll be earth shaking...but I'm watching. nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. Fer the asshole drama mostly.

[FuzzyRabbit]

12. Why would anyone waste their time

listening to a State of the Union speech. They are only full of hot air.

I haven't listened to any since Nixon, and I haven't missed a thing. Neither will you.

[Ikonoklast]

39. Bless your heart.

Enjoy your stay.

[lynne]

13. Quit watching them years ago -

- got tired of the talking heads and all the interruptions. I find I get far more out of the speech if I read the transcript when it's published. Only takes about 10 minutes, too!

[kestrel91316]

14. Me. I can read the transcript or watch the video later

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

15. Watchint a politician give a speech to other politicians has very limited entertainment value.

Right up there with infomercials about hair growth products.

[sendero]

16. Not me..

... just a bunch of words. Heard most of them before.

[pangaia]

17. I'm not watching the SOTU

I am also not posting on DU !

[savebigbird]

18. I'm reading about improving American public education:

something that I doubt will be addressed tonight, sadly.

[elleng]

30. High quality pre-school.

[savebigbird]

37. That's on my wish list. n/t

[Arkansas Granny]

19. I'll read the transcript tomorrow.

I don't like all the interruptions for the obligatory applause. It's will take less than half the time to read than to listen.

[ellie]

20. No,

I am getting ready to have Mardi Gras mojitos, looking for a church to go to Ash Wednesday Mass tomorrow, and watching the dog show.

[Arctic Dave]

21. Nope.

Finishing paperwork.

[darkangel218]

22. Youre missing out. :) nt

[kentauros]

23. My inner coherency level is kind of low this evening.

So, no, I didn't watch.

What'd I miss?

[darkangel218]

25. Among others, POTUS said if the congress wont.do something about global warming

He will sign an executive order for clean energy . I loved that part

[kentauros]

27. Oh!

I love that part, too
(Even as I work in "dirty energy" for a living...)

[Nevernose]

24. Teaching night school. In between classes now

Otherwise I'd probably make a drinking game of it.

[elleng]

26. Not watching; listening.

Watching Westminster.

[Hulk Smash]

28. michigan @ mich state on. spartans up big at half

Go green! (natch!)

[matt819]

29. Watching TV

catching up on the live blog here.

[JimDandy]

31. NO, of course not! Cleared my calendar to watch it.

This is not the Super Bowl that you can take or leave. I want to know what Obama thinks is important for me to know about the state of our union.

[Travis_0004]

32. I'm watching walking dead on Tivo.

[scarletwoman]

33. I don't have TV & my computer is on dial-up. No, I'm not watching.

I do have Minnesota Public Radio on in the background, and they're broadcasting it live. But I'm not really paying attention, talk is cheap.

[madrchsod]
