I wholeheartedly disagree. I find undergoing a root canal preferable.

Then how will you know when "the media" (whichever flavor you disagree with) is lying to you?

Sit down, close your eyes, take a deep breath and just try to imagine how little I care. It will do you good.

Ah yes . . . so he'll lie and almost tell the truth . . . or tell the truth and almost lie.

It all depends on which camp you are a groupie for.

Just more political rhetoric with mid-terms on the horizon. I'd rather watch water freeze!

I am waiting for him to cite the record setting cold that is besetting the nation as an example of global warming.

Actually watching water freeze can be very beautiful.

Beats the hell out of listening to some politician!
As a matter of fact, I have watched an icicle melting in the sun and the sky would cloud-up, the wind would come-up and the temperature would drop to below freezing and that last drop would freeze solid.

Snacks and popcorn? Check!

About 7 minutes in as of now.

Did he really just say that he cut the deficit in half?

I'll read the speech transcript afterwards in less time than it took Obama to deliver it from his teleprompter and pause whenever I feel nauseous.

Love reading the comments of people with regard to the State of the Union address. I especially enjoy the people who say they can't stand politics and aren't watching it, yet I've seen them complain about politics on FB (or here in SC) on an almost daily (if not seemingly hourly) basis for years.

The engaged, disengaged.

Are you talking to you?

Are you watching the rebuttals?

This. A hundred times this. When I click on something on a news site and they want me to watch a video instead of getting me an article? FUCK YOU. Efficiency is everything.

Just an observation to the thread in general and an amazing couple of people I saw posting on FB.

As for some other people's comments about "efficiency" in reading rather than watching. Well, they're simply wrong about that because it's a piece of political theater. The transcript doesn't show the reactions.

It was a joke, Paul. I have been here long enough, and have known you long enough to understand that. It was rhetorical.

And I . . . also . . . agree . . . with . . . you . . . about the pageantry.

For instance: Using the SFC with the brain injury to get a bipartisan standing ovation, was brilliant.

You can applaud, you can not applaud, you can stand and applaud with everyone, or you can sit and not applaud with everyone standing and applauding around you, or you can sit and applaud with everyone standing around you applauding.

You can grimace when no one else is doing anything, you can grimace when others applaud, you can look at people near you and then grimace in consensus, or you can grimace in solitude.

You can smirk. You can smirk and then lean back or you can smirk and then lean forward. You can smirk and then give a thumbs up and then applaud and then adjust yourself in your seat and then nod and then applaud.

When does the next season of House of Cards come out again? Much better acting.

Funny. I was thinking something similar this morning as CNN was showing excerpts. I can't believe all Democrats loved what he said so much that they had to stand up so often in unison. I can't believe all Republicans hated everything he said so much that they sat there with dour faces. It's just a mirror image of when GWB was giving the address.

I enjoyed it much more when I started trying to decide what they would wear if they did it in Kabuki Theater fashion. And then I could see Michele getting up there and twerking again.

Let's face it, it could have been much more entertaining.

I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
