State of the Bunion

Jan 23, 2007 21:24

I made it about ten minutes into Bush's 2007 State of the Union Address (right about as he was passive-aggressively accusing Congress of sneaking pet projects into their bills) before I muted it and watched this mildly amusing music video.

Warning: If you don't watch Deadwood, you won't understand this at all.  You may dig the song, though.



That right there... that makes me want to go write some Al/Dan slash fiction.  Just think - "Deadwood".  So many possibilities for porn titles.  Must... maintain... journal's... family-friendly... tone...

Damn, they make Congress stand up and sit down a lot at these State of the Union Addresses.  That must be murder on their hamstrings.

Nancy Pelosi looks like she's got a live bug in her mouth, and for some reason, she's trying to keep the bug in there without swallowing it, spitting it out, or chewing it.  The lady seems very uncomfortable.

Still muted...

How much fun would these addresses be if they did them Mad Lib style?  Like, the president begins a thought, and the Speaker interrupts him midstream and calls on somebody from the audience to fill in the blank.

Bush: "Our success in this war is often measured by..."
Jim Kerry: "The length of Cheney's smirk."

Condi Rice looks pissed that she has to keep standing up.

Politics are so sexy.

And yet, I'm going to bed halfway through the speech.  I do some of my best thinking in the minutes before sleep takes me, and I've got that Al/Dan love story to plot out.

journal, tv, madness
