STATE OF THE UNION QUOTE OF THE DAY

“The annual State of the Union pageant is a hideous, dispiriting, ugly, monotonous, un-American, un-republican, anti-democratic, dreary, backward, monarchical, retch-inducing, depressing, shameful, crypto-imperial display of official self-aggrandizement and piteous toadying, a black Mass during which every unholy order of teacup totalitarian and cringing courtier gathers under the towering dome of a faux-Roman temple to listen to a speech with no content given by a man with no content, to rise and to be seated as is called for by the order of worship — it is a wonder they have not started genuflecting — with one wretched representative of their number squirreled away in some well-upholstered Washington hidey-hole in order to preserve the illusion that those gathered constitute a special class of humanity without whom we could not live.

It’s the most nauseating display in American public life — and I write that as someone who has just returned from a pornographers’ convention.”

I decided to watch it. I ended up not watching it at all. The first few minutes bored me to the extent that I ended up just reading and posting shit here on the Pete Seeger thread and not only spaced it out completely, but the GoP response as well…the chick was kind of good looking, but I can’t think of a single word that came out of her mouth.

Hilarious, and he only mentioned to good parts.

Did anyone actually watch? Congress is approved of by less than 10% of the population, and Obama is approved of by about 1/3 of the population (millennials, blacks, Jews and Mexicans). They make a good show of it, while stealing half my income in taxes. Fuck each and every one of ’em. Where’s the piano wire?

Please don’t forget to click on the blue “Kevin D. Williamson” above … there’s two full pages of stuff. All of it quite good.

AWD, I didn’t watch it. Same as last year, and the year before that, and the year before that. Well anyway, you get the meaning. Last night during the SOTU address I called my father to see how he was. I couldn’t believe it. He was watching the speech. He doesn’t even like Obama and has voted Republican his whole life. I think he has half-heimers disease, so I kind of overlook certain things. At least my mom had enough sense not to watch it.
