Happy State of the Union Day!!!

State of the Union day is my favorite holiday of the year. We lay down some ground rules and we drink ourselves silly as we listen to an hour of Bushspeak. Of course, all the predictable rules apply: terrorism=drink. nuculer (or any other pronunciation) = drink freedom/liberty/democracy=drink.

Each year, though, we try to keep up with the times and spice things up a little. Mathgimp's already established two rules: a) any further mention of human-animal hybrids merits a car bomb and b) we drink whenever the word "bubble" is uttered. I just consulted the good folks at WaPo, and here are a few more:


1) So, what's the big idea starting off your article with the phrase "as he prepares to deliver his seventh and probably final State of the Union address tonight." Is the probably necessary? Really? Can't our long, national nightmare end gracefully in 359 or so days? Any allusion to Bush bringing us State of the Union VIII and we finish the bottle. And move to Canada.

2) Bushie's apparently pissed that many Americans have "already written him off." Any reference to the way history will see him, the historic moment of his presidency, blah blah blah, and we drink.

3) We drink if he promises to solve that whole Mideast peace thing...although they've been quiet about that since the Gaza/Egypt border collapsed.

4) The term "unfinished business."

Leave your ideas in the comments, feel free to come join us if ya want, and Happy State of the Union Day!!!!
