I Tried, But I couldn't stand it...
I tried to watch the Smirking Chimp's state of the union deceptive fantasy, but I couldn't. Waves of revulsion alternating with disgust overwhelmed me. I'm sure I'm not alone in this, but what has it come to when citizens can't stomach the sound and/or image of their President? I guess I'll have to wait and rely on second hand reviews of the lies and misrepresentations spewed forth from our Con-mander in Cheif.

And to add further insult, just thinking about the fact that Cindy Sheehan has been arrested for something as mundane as free speech (be it a t-shirt or one of those much feared terrorist weapons--the political "banner"), while the real criminals go on "leading" the country.

Dark days in America.

1. I'm with you. I can't stand looking at him, listening to him...that's why
I logged on to D.U. To find out second-hand, and to update on what the heck happened to Cindy?

2. You're a better man than I.
I couldn't even bring myself to turn it on. I've been trembling with anger just reading excepts on DU.

3. The remedy is.....
Turn down the sound on tv and listen to Majority Report on Air America Radio while they watch it live with you and insert their own comments. It makes it much more satisfying! :)
