So there's this dude somewhere--in Washington, wasn't it? Did a speech or something? Some people are still listening to him? Somewhere?

I'm sure I'll read about it tomorrow. Maybe. Or I'll catch up with it next week. Or next month. Or whenever I have a convenient hour. I suspect, however, that that waxing the cat might seem more important. If I had a cat.

Or maybe I'll catch up with it never. That would probably be better for my blood pressure.

Edited to add: [livejournal.com profile] lsanderson has helpfully summarized the speech for me so that I don't have to bother reading it: "We must move forward, not backward, upward not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom."

*cracks up*

Making a cat out of wax might be more important. Having an actual cat, I will now go feed him. That is definitely more important.

My dad asked me if I was going to watch.

I said no, because the sound of his voice would make me want to punch the TV, and my husband would probably be displeased to come home from work to a broken TV.

My dad sighed.

I can't wait for the election.

I have EXACTLY the same reaction to his voice. I've gotten so sick of the lies (not to mention the smugness) that I just can't stand listening to him anymore.

There's an interview with him in the latest Glamour magazine. I wanted to punch the paper. His awful grammar is bad enough, let alone what comes out of his mouth. It was, as you said, incredibly smug.

I so very, very carefully

I haven't watched the SOTU since Shrub came to DC. It used to be must see tv for me. But I just can't watch him for more than 5 mins without screaming at the TV.

I continue my streak of not watching his speeches. About anything. I can't stomach it.

I just posted a sixty second summary, just enough to give you the bare gist without going on long enough to cause you to throw up.

I found the 60 Second State of the Union (http://daily.mahalo.com/2008/01/29/md045-state-of-the-union-address-in-60-seconds/) summary to be sufficiently entertaining that I didn't feel the need to punch the monitor.
