We Already Know
Don't bother watching the president's speech tonite because it's just gonna go like this (abbreviated version):
Ceremonial entrance into The Chambers to the music of "God Save The Queen."(The Sex Pistols)
Applause.
President: "We have reached a crucial point in our War on Terror and Evildoers across the globe."
Applause.
President: "Despite the dedicated service of our fine men and women in uniform, we have proven that, with resolve, we can use our military might instead of diplomacy and turn a sovereign nation into a cesspool of violence and poverty."
Applause. (Pan to uniformed veteran in audience who can't clap because he hasn't figured out exactly how to use his orthopedic arms yet)
President: "My fellow Americans, we haven't just given the Iraqi people countless thousands of civilian casualties, intractable sectarian violence, and piles of rubble where their homes once stood. We've given them something far more precious. We've given them Democracy."
Applause.
President: "But The American people spoke clearly in the previous election. You said you want to take a new course in our war against
Terror and Evil. You want our troops out of Iraq."
Loud Applause.
President: "That committee of old guys my daddy helped put together to keep my approval ratings from sinking below Hoover's gave me a report. I read most of it. It said get our troops the hell out of Iraq."
Loud Applause.
President: "And even though the First Lady is still a little miffed about that whole Oscar de la Renta thing, she wants our troops out of Iraq. I think."
Loud Applause.
President: "As your leader and the Commander-in-Chief, I want to assure my fellow Americans that I hear you."
Very Loud Applause.
President: "So I intend to propose immediately to the new leadership in the House and the Senate that we increase our troop presence in Iraq."

There's probably something much more intelligent and realistic to watch on the Disney Channel.

It's just chicken. With some sauce.
I think SWAC just called the president a saucy chicken...but I'm not sure.
I can't watch the president's speech tonight...I, umm, have to wash my hair. Yeah, that's it.
I just TOLD you guys about it! No ned to watch.
I'M not watching it. I'm eating some chicken.
With sauce.
Pie for dessert.
And then maybe I'll wash my hair. (although mzmatch is right cake.....that one's getting old. But as our friendly for now neighbor to the north, why would you even need an excuse to not watch OUR president? )
Ok....
I lied.
I am gonna watch it. It's my professional responsibility afterall.
But while watching, I'll be eating chicken with some sauce, pie, and washing my hair...I'm the multi-tasker master.
"I'M not watching it. I'm eating some chicken.

Yeah, secret pie that you won't divulge the secret location of. Sheesh!
bacon ace....
I apologize. It's out of my control. National security and stuff like that.
But oh boy...just one taste....
Sorry. It's tough to get national clearance these days. Even for pie.
Ok.
I watched.
I listened.
And I quckley came to the conclusion that our president is simply a whackjob. Just check out the DSM-IV-he's well covered in many categories.
Although I will admit I got the ceremony part wrong.....Impeach me.
I had to watch it...you guys are the big tough neighbours to the south, I like to know what you're up to.
So I saved washing my hair till tomorrow morning, made some popcorn, poured a drink...and settled in to be entertained.
I have to admit, I was sort of hoping for some more pomp and circumstance...but at least he had a great hat on. And the soundtrack was hilarious!
What?
Oh. Wrong channel...never mind.
I thought is was a decent speech.
mzmatch-
Nooprah was obvioulsy watching the same show as cake...
It was a decent speech. I especially liked the part with the tiger...ooh! And the part where he put on those shoes and sang that great song.
What? Still the wrong channel?
Damn.
(Sssshhhhh....Every morning, I get into work and check out what's going on at NoOprah's blog. But this past week, I've started checking Bemis's blog before I get to NoOprah. Don't tell him.)
bostongraf,
I won't tell.
That's what they call "a lie," of course.
