Just so everyone knows why I won't be around later tonight:
You all know about my temper. I simply CANNOT watch Commander Pissypants' speech tonight, or I'll hurl something through the TV screen.

And I can't log on to DU, because that speech will be the discussion subject all over DU (as it should be), and reading and re-reading about it will anger me even more (not anger about DUers, but about President Dipwhack).

Plus, I have to go visit a potential new customer tomorrow morning. Better I get some sleeep.

2. Good choice. Better to save yourself the aggro.

3. I feel your pain
I never watch that idiot's alleged 'speeches' because, unlike the real Elvis, I can't afford to buy a new TV every time I decide that it's offending me.

We'll get the gist of it -- we already know it's going to be lies, obfuscation, and utter drivel, delivered by the least compelling and able speaker in US history -- here on DU, anyway, not that we'll probably need it. Good luck with that far more positive use of time and energy: securing a new client!

7. And "uh, uh, uh." Though we'll probably be spared "nucular." But we'll get
"terra," that's for sure.

He'll pitch it as Armageddon.

4. I can't stand watching him slinging feces and buthering the
King's English either, however, I plan to tune into MSNBC afterwards.

Keith is sure to be paired with Tweety to provide post speech analysis.

8. That might be fun, but not with a temper as bad as mine.

13. Unfortunately, no. I do have a deep-seated anger when it comes to dead
American soldiers, but I do have a desperately soft spot when it comes to this:

I'm at my wits' end. I just don't know what to do.

6. That's probably a good choice. I can't stand watching him either.
It was all I could do to get through the presidential debates in 2004 without doing serious harm to my television.

10. Who?
...that is my standard answer regarding *. He doesn't exist in my mind. I don't watch network TV anyway, much easier to put my head in the sand.

I think the Lounge will be safe though. :)

11. I can't stand watching/listening to him either
I just keep hoping his brain (?) will misfire one day and he'll start talking in an endless loop. Oh wait...

14. Definitely will NOT be watching either, my dear Redstone!
I will be right here, or else downstairs, making dinner....

And I don't want to lose my appetite, esp. over him...

Good hunting with your client tomorrow........:toast:

15. Totally understandable, Redstone.
I, too, want to hurl things at the TV if I see Bush's smirky visage on the screen. So, just relax, chill, and get some good rest for tomorrow.
