State of the Union tonight...

[Adam54]

...so in honor of Bush's big speech?

I'm going to head to the theatre and watch some gay cowboys.

*beams* seems fitting, somehow.

[Bokchoi Cowboy]

Yep, seems very similar.....

[kah]

*sighs* *sighs deeply* You know, he can't be classified as a cowboy. So what if he's from Texas. He hasn't done a hard day's work in his life.

However, I voted for that gay cowboy, so I will be going to the bar to watch other people drink and watch the address on mute.

[Sgt. Awesome]

Would it be better on mute? You wouldn't hear what he's saying and just watch him make funny faces...

[TrixieB]

The best coverage of the State of the Union I ever saw was on Comedy Central. It was kind of done like MST3K, with comments during the speech.

[Kaeos]

(not) sorry to say I missed George Dubble-Bubble-ya Bush prattle tonight.

Did I miss anything worth hearing?

I think we need little pukey face on here...

[Kaeos]

Oh, I guess he hasn"t talked yet. Hmmm

What's this I heard he's going to say America is addicted to Oil and we need new techology?

[Space Tycoon]

Okay I'm done....

I just hope the place doesn't blow up. All the cabinet and the President in one place at the same time? Seems like if I were a terrorist, this is what I'd be after. I hope the Secret Service, FBI, et al, are watching the skies, the ground, the underground and everything in between.

Dude, you hear that knocking?

.....


It's the DOD. They want to ask you some questions....

Good luck man.

[Space Tycoon]

You know, he's only been speaking for five minutes, and already I want to die.

I found this site with a lot of free Playboy centrefold wallpapers. Think I'll go there for awhile instead...

It really is fitting. The homosexual bush hater is going to watch the gay cowboy movie instead of watching Bush talk about Uhmurrika.

Minion: Gayyyyy.

[Intelligent_Design]

Watching the SoTU I drifted off into a daydream state and wondered what Daforce was doing right now.

[Bill_the_Pony]

You people act as if being gay were some kind of insult.

[Minion]

Being Adam is a kind of insult.

(btw: Did you like the movie John Boy? I've been trying to find a theatre in Utah that is actually showing it.....be kind of nice to see the movie)

Minion: Being gay is peachy.

I dunno, reduce your oil dependancy and research all sorts of other energy sources. Seems pretty sensible to me.

If we are then he's our pusher.

The State of the Bourbon Address (http://www.scottpaulsen.com/scott/StateoftheBourbonAddress.htm)

A drinking game...

[Bokchoi Cowboy]

Found this one out on the 'net. Supposed to be Dubya's State of the Union Speech - Fist Draft:

(Hey, Karl. Here’s the first draft of my “State of the Union” speech. I’ve put some questions for ya in parenthisaurs. Let me know what you think. Best -W)
MY STATE OF THE UNION SPEECH by George W. Bush
Mr. Speaker, Vice President Cheney, extreme members of Congress, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls and children of all ages.
As we boldly enter a new year of hurling before us, I’ve come before you to tell you that Freedom is spreading like cancer in the Middle East, our economy is even robustier than it was last year and, if we all work together in this coming year, there will be countless more fish to fry, or bake if you’re watching your cholesterol.
Tonight, with more and more Americans going back to work, with our nation an active force for goodnicity in the world, the state of our union is truly flamboyiscious. (SP?)
This past year, we have accomplished many things that no one expected and some outright feared.
Our No Child Left Behind Act has not only increased our youngins’ ability to read and do math, but we have decreased the student population dramatically, nationwide. Now, when a child graduates high school, not only will he or she be able to print his or her name tag while asking “Do you want fries with that?” they’ll be able to add up the menu total.
The past year, we’ve reframed and totally regurgitated Medicare, creating thousands of jobs in emergency room care.
We have added two million jobs in non-auto construction related fields.
We have plugged the holes of the bankruptcy dykes, who threatened to cheat honest bankers and credit card employers out of their hard squandered cash.
We have tackled such hard questions as how frightened are you of Social Security disappearing, how many hurricanes can FEMA handle and how fast can the House pass a bill when no one is looking?
But we must not rest on our laureates.
The year ahead will present us with challenges both overseas, at home and elsewhere.
I’m going to remind you all that we’re living in hysteric times. The decisions we make today will help shape the direction of events for years, even weeks, to come.
Now, recently, there has been a hornet’s nest of inflappatory (SP?) rhetoric concerning my involvement with so called “domestic spying.” It’s true, I have allowed NASA to spy on Americans but let me remind you of one important fact: the world changed after 9/11.
Think about it. 9/10? You’re riding your bike whistling a happy tune. 9/12? You’re scared stiff. In between? 9/11. Bingo.
If any of you don’t remember 9/11, we were attacked by a group of drooling madmen who hate us for our freedoms, so I decided to lessen them.
And, if NASA can safely land people on the Moon, it can handle this finely.
Our “domestic spying” program isn’t. (Does that make sense, Karl?) It’s a program devoted to “terrorist surveillance” or, as I call it, “terrorist tattling.”
If al Qaeda is talking to you? E-mailing you? Sending you a candy-gram? I want to know about it. This program only involves American citizens who are calling known terrorists in another country or another state. We have a list of terrorist groups we’re monitoring from al Qaeda to al PETA and al Quaker.
The terrorist tattler program is necessary to protect America from attacks either within our own borders or even closer. Terrorists will use every available weapon at their disposal, from dirty bombs to free speech, to break the will of the American people. I vow I will never let that happen. That’s my job.
Some people say that I’ve broken the law. That’s not true. A President has inherent authorities given to him by the Constitution. One of them is breaking the law. I hope this puts an end to the issue.
Oh, yeah, I don’t know Jack Abramoff, either.
This year, I’m asking Congress to help me in passing bills that will help all American people struggle.
We’re setting a goal of creating two million more jobs, some of them actually in this country.
We will tackle affordable Health Care insurance the way we did Medicare. By this time, next year, Americans will be dancing in the streets, unless they’re too old or too sick.
We will help an additional 200,000 unemployed workers get training for a new job. If you could build a Bronco, you can flip a burger. It’s the American way.
We should not be content with laws that punish hardworking people who want only to provide for their families, and deny businesses willing workers, and invite chaos at our border. It is time for an immigration policy that permits temporary guest workers to fill jobs Americans will not take, like joining the military. This will not apply to Canadians.
Because marriage is a sacred institution and the foundation of our society, it should not be re-defined by activist judges or odd people. For the good of families, children, and society, I support a constitutional amendment to protect the institution of marriage as long as divorce is left out of the equestrian.
As you all know, the world is facing a possible pandemonium of bird flu. As your President, I vowel that no foreign birds will be allowed in this country without having proper background checks done.
I’m also pleased to report that our ongoing War on Global Terror has had an explosive effect on the world. After 9/11, and our world changed after 9/11, we decided to go after the evil-doers and tackle Afghanistan. I’m proud to report that Afghanistan is now a democracy, the Taliban has started it’s own political party and that formerly vicious warlords are now elected officials. Plus, their economy is booming thanks to farmers who grow flowers. From what I understand, they’ve had a record year.
In Iraq, the Iraqis are standing up so we can sit it out. They now have their own government, their own Constitution, their own problems.
Before the United States of America drove out the Butcherer of Baghdad, Iraq was a country filled with mass graves. Today? There are no more mass graves, just a whole bunch of little ones. Before the United States went to the aid of our Iraqi brothers and sisters, Saddam brutalized his own people. Now that they have their own elected government, Iraqis are free to brutalize each other as they see fit.
(Karl, I think this is where we should introduce dead soldiers’ parents, wives and kids. See if you can get one kid to bring a bunny. Bunnies are cute. Plus, Easter is right around the corner.)
Democracy is on the march in the Middle East, with more and more people choosing ballots over bullets or, sometimes, both.
As you know, even in Palestinia, there were free elections. And, if not free, relatively cheap. We look forward to working with the Humus Party in reaching a peaceful settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian problem as soon as they take Israel’s total destruction off the table.
Now, I know, when it comes to my foreign policy of peace, democracy and loving yourself as much as your neighbor does himself, there are some naysayers in this country who say “nay.” But, where you say “nay?” I say, “hey, how’s it going?” And many brave people with purple fingers say “hey” back, but it’s in a different language so I can’t quite catch all of it. It’s awesome-inspiring.
I suppose that makes me an optometrist. Some people look at a glass and wonder if it’s half-empty or half-full of it. I always know it’s half-full of it.
Now, in order to protect our great Homeland and to allow it to prosper, I ask Congress to do two things: make my tax cuts permanent and re-authorize the Patriot Act.

[Bokchoi Cowboy]

(part 2)

Many of my opponents have unfairly said my tax cuts are biased because rich people save the most. Well, a-heh-heh (Karl. People love it when I wink and laugh.), any economist knows that rich people have the most money to save because they have the most money. (Karl. Is this redundant or smart?)
They, then, take their savings and put it back into our great economy, creating new jobs for house servants, valets, car detailers, and tennis pros.
And don’t forget the backbone of our country, the small businesses run by entremanures. My tax cuts guarantee them savings when they expand their temp services, limousine services and landscaping enterprises.
As some of you know, the world changed after 9/11 and, since the creation of The Department of Homeland Security, we have not been attacked a second time. Sure, a lot of other countries have, but they don’t have Homeland Security departments. We do. They don’t. That simple.
Remember, these evildoers we are fighting never sleep. Their vision is dark and dim and they never have their eyes checked. Like the Tin Woodsman in ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ they have no hearts. They don’t even have tin. They kill innocent men, women, children and bunnies (Karl. I guess I’m just in a bunny mood today.). In order to save the children and bunnies, I ask Congress to make Homeland Security a bastardion of our country.
The War on Global Terror will last a bazillion years. In Iraq alone, we’re battling “rejectionists,” “poo-pooers,” “al Qaeda,” “foreign fighters,” “local fighters,” “commuters,” “Baathists,” “Showerists,” and Venutians. We have to be vigilant. We have to stand tall in the saddle.
Now, I know I have my critics because of the war and Homeland Security, and I know this is an election year but, in the spirit of bi-partisanship, I extend a fig towards the opposition and say, if I may use Latin? “Ix-nay.”
Every bad thing you say about the War on Global Terror makes the evil-doers laugh and our soldiers cry. Think about it.
So, in closing, in this coming year, we must not look back. We must look in the opposite direction. We must jog on the treadmill of hope towards a more peaceful and zesty future. The road somewhere will be long and, maybe, lumpy. But it’s up to us, as pothole filling patriots, to keep that road alive and well. And tread upon it as we do ourselves.
As Franklin Deleanor Roosevelt once said: “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.” So, smile and be afraid. I’m in charge.
God bless me. God bless Mommy and Daddy. And Barney. God bless all Americans. God bless der Homeland.

The whole "alternative fuels" thing is such a great little way to make people sit back, nod their heads and go "yeah, that sounds nice." I wonder if Bush realizes just how much oil it will take to operate the refineries needed to generate all these alternative fuels? Hydrogen and ethanol don't just bubble up out of the ground...It may reduce our oil use, but we'll never be totally free from our addiction until the entire fuel base is switched over.

Minion: Oh wait....then he really must know how much oil it takes.

Hydrogen uses up more power then it outputs and Ethanol is bad for gas mileage, so there's 2 alternatives gone already. Pathetic it is

Nuclear and Solar power seem feasible. I don't see where the hell he gets "clean coal" (from past speech). There is no such thing.

In all, i think he is trying to distance himself from Big Oil Corp.

[Space Tycoon]

Fusion baby. That's all I got to say.

I thought the same thing last January when he was giving his speech on the White House lawn and they had everybody from Washington there, along with something like 3000 observers. How about the SuperBowl? Even if you don't get the gov, you can still do damage to tens of thousands of people. If you want to think this way, any event is a terrorist target, and I, personally, don't like living in fear of "what if." The last thing I am going to do is stay home from the local county fair because there is going to be 5 thousand people there, and it could maybe, possibly, probably be a target for some psycho.

[Intelligent_Design]

I never heard that before. I'm not saying you are wrong but do you have a link? If we could totally covert over to FCELL it would take massive amounts of money but we could make double that money back by selling our oil reserves on the open market.


Fusion baby. That's all I got to say.

Magnetic propulsion is way of the future Mr Tycoon.:)

Heh..I had more important things to do then to listen to the obvious B.S.

I had my advanced 2D animation class last night.



Like I said....I had more important things to do.

bah I went to the bar, had a couple of beers and watched the Mavericks almost blow a 30pt lead to Chicago.

I was more pissed that there wasn't new Scrubs episodes on last night. :(

If nothing else, Bush's statements will get a lot of Red State voters to start taking alternative energy seriously, thus paving the way for newer intiatives. Hearing "one of our own" talking about solar power, or what-have-you, is more palatable for the Toby Keith crowd than "some college boy Lib'ruhl."

Yes, I know, blatant stereotyping. I'm just incorrigible. :winks:

Yes, I know, blatant stereotyping. I'm just incorrigible. :winks:

Do you think a passing mention in the SoTU address can trigger a change in a large groups'(red states) mindset on a particular issue ? Do you really think it will stir an intelligent exchange of ideas in these places? I grew up in a Red state, so with that prior history as a basis I would have to say no,and no.

You are not the only pessimist here.:(

[Space Tycoon]

I think it's a start. I don't know if he's at all serious. For all I know his words may not be worth the hot air they were carried upon. But it may get some people thinking about the fuel powering their SUV's.

In any event, when alt energy really does start to make some headway, I believe it will be because some clever entrepreneurs have found a way to make it affordable for consumers and profitable for their investors--not because some federal bureaucrats decide to "make it so."

The way to encourage this, of course, is to reward those enterpising folks with incentives--lower taxes, a lean regulatory environment, competitive prizes a la the X-Prize etc. In order to have these conditions, you need a political culture with an entrenched belief that people are smarter than politicians-- like America of yesteryear.

For that, you need more than empty political promises, from either party. You need regime change.

Meh. I watched Supernatural instead...O_o;; The eppy sucked, wasn't their best by a long shot. (It actually reminded me of Knight Rider....WTF?) Next weeks should make up for the schlock-a-rama that was Route 666, the name of the eppy alone was cheesy...all I could image during the eppy was Kitt getting chased by that evil semi-truck...

Anyways...Bush gave Supernatural a HUGE ratings boost. Too bad it wasn't a better eppy to keep people watching; something about the evil ghost of a truck is amusing.

lol!... XD It was the only thing on against him, so people who didn't want to watch Bush watched Supernatural...lol, so he did in a way give it higher ratings, he forced people to go channel surfing for something else to watch, ha!...

from TvGuide.com

SIMPLY SUPER: While the Big Four aired the State of the Union address — which averaged 27.3 million viewers across its two hours — WB's Supernatural enjoyed its highest ratings ever on Tuesday night, drawing an audience of 5.9 mil. [Insert your own joke about which group came away more afraid.]
