Who will NOT be watching the SOTU tonight?
I get physically ill listening to him lie. His voice causes such a negative visceral reaction in me, and since I am just getting over the Norwalk virus, I am thinking for my health's sake, I had better avoid it.

2. I'm with you....
I haven't watched more than 15 seconds of anything that shithead has said in the 7 years he's been in residence. Just can't stomach it on any level. To stay necessarily informed of his latest evil deed and/or plan, I rely on DU summaries and, when I can muster up the strength, transcripts. I'll probably catch Keith's pre-SOTU and then tune to the Food Channel or something.

BTW - feel better soon!

7. ARGH!
I know you are a good mom, and probably won't do this, but I am sure there will be some version of a SOTU drinking game floating around.

:rofl:

9. ME!!!
I'm busy watching clothes dry. And nursing my headache with an ice cold ginger beer.

I feel nauseous enough without sitting through junior's temper tantrum.

10. There's no need for me to watch it
There's the Union, and we know the state it's in: shambles. What's to watch? See him lie, cheat and steal like he has since December 12, 2000? No thanks--there's a repeat of a repeat of a Law and Order: SVU episode for me to watch again instead--and better by far.

11. I can't stand his awful dial-tone voice.
Whatever else is on, that's what I'll be watching. I'll let braver DUers with stronger stomachs fill me in on the details.

13. I'm attending a meeting of a discussion and affinity group associated with
my church, and no, we very emphatically will NOT be talking about what a "fine Christian man" GW Bush is.

Fortunately, this meeting overlaps almost perfectly with the SOTU, so I don't even have to be tempted to watch the Idiot in Chief or see the disgusting spectacle of Congresscritters applauding him.

16. I'll tell you, when we ask new members to join our group, we carefully
suss out their political opinions. Anyone with a "W 04" sticker on their car is probably not a good fit.

18. There might be a little entertainment value in watching...
Not Bush, but it could be fun to see whether Minnesota's own Katherine Harris, a/k/a Congresswacko Michelle Bachmann, tries to hump his leg again this year as he walks down the aisle.

19. I don't get it on TV here
Amusingly, I only get two channels on the rabbit ears. CBS and PBS.

The CBS affiliate burned down last week. And PBS isn't covering it. Shame. :)

27. I really shouldn't, but...
I will watch as much as I can stand.

If I wash a Xanex down with a couple shots of tequila now, I might make to the point where they introduce the bastard.

He makes my skin crawl. :puke:

28. Not I or the DH.
You know what I really hate? When I'm across the room from the radio and have my hands full and can't get to the radio when NPR plays the odd clip of him speaking. I have to do this:



Seriously, he makes me want to hurl and I always have something better to do than give my precious time over to a compulsive liar.

35. Hi Kitchy,
I'm watching for the theatrics and the "umms".

If it gets to be too much, I'll first hit mute then change the channel.

I'll see how long I last.

Don't watch it- OR, remember this is the LAST TIME
we have to see him give a SOTUA.

It really helps!

43. Yes, like watching the clothes in the dryer.
While I'm doing that, I'm going to stab myself in the leg repeatedly with a knitting needle as I swallow an emetic.

That should recreate the speech nicely.

The bar has no TVs in it, so we knew we'd be given "political asylum" for an hour or two.
