Are you going to listen to shrub's state of the union?
Hope some of you will, I can't stand to listen to him or watch him. Just watch his eyes and facial expressions whenever the pukes stand up to give him an ovation. He loves their approval. He just reminds me of a little child waiting to be approved by mommy and daddy.

16. Me too.
You comments about the little child waiting for approval from parents was too benign. I couldn't think of him as innocent in any setting.

3. I have more important things to do than listen to an inarticulate moron
try to read the propaganda his handlers have written for him.

I have to trim my nose hair and organize the pencils in my desk.

5. This will be a good time to
brush my dogs and clean their ears. My dogs will fight their ear cleaning though, they don't want to hear shrub.

17. Damn, is that on tonight?
What time is it supposed to air? I hope it doesn't interrupt any good programs.

No, I don't want to watch. I hope I don't even catch a glimpse of it.
