Groundhog Day

This year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union address occur on the same day. As Air America Radio pointed out, "It is an ironic juxtaposition of events: one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication while the other involves a groundhog."
Any guesses as to what the President will say in the State of the Union speech tonight? I'm thinking that he will start out by kissing Pelosi's ass a little bit with some mushy-gushy crap. Something like...

I have a high privilege and distinct honor of my own as the first president to begin the State of the Union message with these words: Madam Speaker.

Maybe not those exact words, but something similar.

After that, I look for him to talk about immigration some. Maybe suggesting a temporary worker program? Probably use catchy little Jesse Jackson-like phrases such as, without animosity and without amnesty (or something similar).

I also expect him to talk about reducing our dependence on foreign oil and doubling the SPR. Maybe he'll also talk about new technology to help us to confront the serious challenge of global climate change? Not sure exactly what he'll call it, but it'll probably be something like that to appease the wackos.

Other than that...I expect he'll piss some people off by not mentioning hurricane Katrina or giving gazillions more dollars to the native population in New Orleans.

Hmmm...that pretty much sums up my guesses. Anybody else got any?

Do I assume that you would favor continuing to give "gazillions" more dollars to Iraq instead of our own citizens?

How the hell should I know what you assume? :roll:

Glad to see some things never change. You're still an ass. Answer the question. I realize now that I should have known that you would have a problem and should have said "should I assume..."

I bet you are, too. I'm sure it helps you find your cereal bowl every morning when it's in the same place, huh? :lol:

That wasn't very nice, schlurpee. :(

Sorry, sarge. You musta forgot that I wasn't in the Army. I don't do orders. :p

I think there's a limit on how many times you can use the word 'should' in one sentence without it sounding stupid. I'm afraid you might be over that limit. :lol:


Now that all of the polite small talk is out of the way, I'm getting tired of the money that we're spending in Iraq, too. And I'm more than plenty f'ing tired of the priceless young lives it has cost us - and I have been ever since the first one.

I don't like that at all, but we have a mess to clean up that is of our making. That requires us to cough up in the same way that you and I both have to pay for the stuff that we tear up. You don't like it, I don't like it, but it's our baby now. I say we be man enough and honorable enough to finish what we started.

On the other hand, New Orleans does NOT have potential, as far as I'm concerned. New Orleans is nothing but a shithole below sea level and it ain't never gonna be anything but a shithole below sea level.

BTW, if you use the little 'x' in the top right hand corner of your post before you or someone else posts after it, you can delete that post.
