Anyone else NOT going to watch the SOTU?
I need to protect my sanity, therefore, I cannot watch it. I will get summaries from the blogosphere.

2. Nope, I'm going to play games with my kids. It's really weird to not have
a president, isn't it? :hi:

9. I can't even watch the Democratic SOTUs ...
Long political speeches cause my eyes to glaze over, and bring about a gag reflex.

I won't even read the summaries. It is all a bullsh*t festival.

I got enough of the Chimp last week when I watched the press conference. I can't bring myself to watch him 2 weeks in a row.

16. I never do watch 'em
even when Dems have been president. All it is is a glorified campaign speech. If I want to know what's in it, I'll read the transcript the next day. That way I can skip the propaganda and find out how we'll get screwed over for the next year.

23. Nope. Can't stand to hear him talk.
It's not the content of his speeches that bothers me (those it's also nauseating). It's the way he talks.

The stuttering, the extended 'uhhs' and 'umms', the entire rehearsed lack of genuine feeling. There's this aura about him that just says he's only there because he's forced to be, not because he has an obligation to the people. I can't stand to hear the man talk.

25. Agreed
As long as he keeps worshipping the terrorist God that tells him to kill all nonbelievers, and he tells me I have no right to ever get married, I will NEVER watch the "SOTU."

I make it official: I have ZERO tolerance for Christianity now. Any religion that REFUSES to coexist with people who differ (in fact, one that tries to steamroll them over instead) does NOT deserve my respect.

I never could watch * speak. It's just painful to listen. At least when Ronnie was lying through his teeth he sounded like everyone's favorite grandpa.

27. no way - I still have to catch up with my BSG
That's Battlestar Galactica. I was in Florida two Fridays ago and forgot to set my DVR and then last week, my wife accidentally overlaid my recording with some Chinese New Year show...

Easy call, cringe when Bush is talking or "suffer" through 2 hours of nail biting suspense?

33. Nope, went to the local video store this AM and got
Cinderella Man, The Constant Gardner and Crash.

I refuse to listen to him anymore, all he does is make my BP go up and that is definitely not healthy.
