Mardi State of the Gras Union Open Comments

In what could be considered a perfect storm of sorts, the State of the Union Speech will be delivered tonight, just as Mardi Gras parties are reaching full bacchanalia state.

What better environment to drink your way through a speech that someone who has been asleep for the past 5 years could predict?

Mr. Speaker, blah blah blah…
The State of the Union is strong. blah blah blah…
Control gun violence on our streets. blah blah blah…
Invest in our children’s futures. blah blah blah…
Invest in our infrastructure. blah blah blah…
We need to create more jobs. blah blah blah…
Pay their fair share. blah blah blah…

Here’s the beginnings of a drinking game. “Drink” can mean anything from a sip of beer/wine to downing a shot of tequila, whatever you believe your liver can take*; it’s likely to be a long speech, so pace yourself.
Drink when you hear the following words:
Children
Job(s)
Invest
Fair share
Freedom
Iraq
Afghanistan
Victory
Election (+2)
Security
Social security (+1)
Iran
Axis of evil (finish current drink or +5)
North Korea (+4)
Tsunami (+2)
Relief effort
South Asia (+3)
Weapons of mass destruction (+2)
Nuclear weapons (+2)
An alternative would be this:
Mr. Speaker (drink everything you can find)
Laissez les bons temps rouler!!!
* we here at Hambone in no way condone drinking to excess. You are (theoretically) adults. As Clint said in The Outlaw Josey Wales, “A man’s got to know his limitations.

    Do not allow the flu or novovirus past your door.
    We have both going on here and I almost had to take Her Highness to the hospital night before last. We’ve never had the flu and didn’t realize what was sneaking up on us. There are some mitigating treatments effective in the first 48 hours. After that, good luck.
    I couldn’t type on a keyboard Friday, Saturday or Sunday because my hands were shaking so bad from the chills. Oh, yes, we will be getting our flu shots next year.

    It takes a certain level of intelligence and cleverness to be elected to the US Congress. Therefore, I am baffled by how Wasserman-Shultz ever got close to public office.

    The truth was uncovered when the call was opened up to questions. The first query came from a Palm Beach Post reporter, who asked Wasserman Schultz if Capella was the same person listed as the head of the St. Johns Democratic Party.
    Wasserman Schultz paused for a moment but then said she would let Capella answer the question. Capella corrected the reporter, saying she’d stepped down from that role and is now represents the county as the party’s state committeewoman for St. Johns, located in northeastern Florida.

    Not sure about that. He claims to have had the chills due to illness – without even realizing that he was being buried under a glacier at the time.
    I think he got an early start on SOTU drinking.

    Since I can’t drink any more, and since it’s very unlikely that I could stomach more that a couple of minutes of Zero’s imitation of a Castro speech without some sort of chemical relief, odds are that I will just skip the whole deal. Hey, I thought those guys outside installing those loud speakers told me that they were just to signal the call to prayer, but maybe Zero has other ideas to force feed us his message as well. I’ve got ear plugs just in case.

    Arctic cold stiffens Tulia
    February 12, 1899
    On this day in 1899, Tulia, Texas, reported the coldest temperature ever recorded in the state–minus 23 degrees Fahrenheit. This was part of the “Big Freeze,” an infamous norther that killed 40,000 cattle across the state overnight. This temperature was matched in Seminole in 1933. The highest temperature recorded for Texas was 120 at Seymour (1936) and Monahans (1994).

    But do Republicans and conservatives listen to the voice of reason? No, of course not. All they want to do is whine and complain about how gun control and wealth redistribution violate the Constitution, as if the Constitution were all that great, anyway. There are a lot of things that need to be changed about the Constitution, I’d say, and President Obama needs to change it.

    #31 OTL: That is either brilliant satire or this part really scares the schizzle out of me because this person’s vote counts just as much as mine.

    I think all this demonstrates that the Constitution needs to be amended when it comes to the qualifications for being president. Right now, it says that a person has to be 35 years old and be a natural born citizen. Well, that is obviously unfair because there are a great many otherwise qualified people who cannot run for president because their mothers had to have a C-section. But because the Constitution was written a hundred years ago, nobody even thought of the discrimination that would result from a doctor having to deliver a baby in this unnatural way. Now that we Democrats are in control of the government, that’s just one more thing we should change in our drive to make life fair.

    I hope he takes ’em to the cleaners.

    Former Illinois Republican Rep. Joe Walsh plans to sue the Chicago Sun-Times for printing what he said “is a deliberate attempt to defame” him.
    Sun-Times reporter Natasha Korecki on Monday authored an article alleging Walsh, who lost his bid for re-election, is behind on child support payments.
    “After insisting he wasn’t a ‘deadbeat dad’ throughout his failed campaign for re-election, ex-U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh is still dogged by questions about child support,” Korecki wrote. “Walsh, a flame-throwing Tea Party Republican who was trying to land a radio deal and last week announced he was forming a new conservative SuperPAC, filed court papers seeking to end his obligation to pay $2,134 per month in child support.”
    /snip
    Walsh said the Sun-Times’ claim about him trying to “terminate” his child support payments “is an absolute lie, and I will no longer stand for it.”
    “This article by the Sun Times is a deliberate attempt to defame me, and I will sue them immediately,” Walsh said. “My adult children have been my life. I pledged to them two years ago that I would fight these charges privately to keep them out of the news, but with the Chicago Sun Times fabricating a story, I am, at long last, going to fight back.”
    The former congressman and Tea Party star went on to lay out what he says are the facts in the case.
    “Here are the facts: My three kids are 25, 22, and 18-years-old. My youngest son will be emancipated in May of this year …” “Two weeks ago, I did what every other father who is paying child support is supposed to do — by law — when their employment situation changes — I modified my support agreement.
    “…I filed a modification of my support payments for my remaining unemancipated child for these next four months. This modification called for me to pay my ex-wife 20% of my net income during these four months, which is my responsibility by law.”
    “This is what the law requires me to do, and I’ve met that obligation. …I will continue with my child support payments by law until my son Patrick is emancipated. This action was not done surreptitiously or with any malice towards my ex-wife. I did exactly what the law required me to do. Nothing was covered-up. Nothing was hidden.”

    That c-section story’s been around. It’s a hoax.
    Unfortunately, the other stuff isn’t.
    And that’s still dumb enough to abrogate their right to vote, IMHO. I think a certain amount of common sense and relatively functional IQ is required to exercise such an important responsibility as voting. Or serving as an elected official.
    But that will never happen. If we installed testing requirements, the Democrat party would cease to function, and the incumbents would never allow that to happen. No matter how stupid you are, that instinct for survival still kicks in.

    Why are the Olympics dumping wrestling? That is just wrong, wrong, wrong. Wrestling has been an Olympic sport since its earliest days.

    The board voted after reviewing a report by the IOC program commission report that analyzed 39 criteria, including television ratings, ticket sales, anti-doping policy and global participation and popularity. With no official rankings or recommendations contained in the report, the final decision by the 15-member board was also subject to political, emotional and sentimental factors.

    Oh, so the ticket sales weren’t high enough, so they’ve turned the Olympics into a popularity contest and pursue puff sports to entertain the plebes.
    And all those wrestlers in the program – what do they do now?
    And what are they replacing it with?

    Wrestling will now join seven other sports in applying for inclusion in 2020. The others are a combined bid from baseball and softball, plus karate, squash, roller sports, sport climbing, wakeboarding and wushu. They will be vying for a single opening in 2020.

    Yeah, I’ll bet wakeboarding will win.

    #42 TT: All that is required is for a simple photo ID for voting; darned good reasons required for absentee voting and a review of each and every ballot sent to a nursing home. A thorough check and purging of the voter rolls should be done so that we can be sure that the vote is close to legit. I would love to see a requirement that in heavily one party precincts, a member of the opposing party must be present during all voting and tallying to help eliminate the obvious monkey business. Finally we need to go back to numbered paper ballots, the e-system is simply too easy to hack.

    The shooter of Bin Laden doesn’t have insurance we’re told.

    First, contrary to what Klein and others initially wrote, the former Navy SEAL has health insurance:

    Correction: The Seal who shot bin Laden lost his Tricare, but he is now buying insurance on the individual market: washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog…—
    Ezra Klein (@ezraklein) February 11, 2013

    Oops!
    Second, it turns out that the former SEAL is eligible for at least five years of free health care through the Department of Veterans Affairs — a rather important fact that somehow was omitted in both the original Esquire article and the MSM’s follow-up coverage.

    Good afternoon Hamsters. Murky, misty, dampish, no rain to speak of since before dawn and precious little of that. Climbed up to 57 now, breezy, and a lighter sky appears to the west. Most of our moisture these past few days has been fog and mist punctuated with brief episoldes of light rain. Awaiting the front.
    Spouse brought home two dozen roses on Sunday, getting a head start on Valentine’s Day while the selection was good, he said. A dozen red and a dozen yellow, they fill my largest vase to capacity and are beautiful, just opening now and surely will be lovely come Thursday. 🙂

    Sincere sympathy to you and Her Highness on being laid low by the flu bug. As I understand it, this year’s fashionable plague virus contains mutuations of previous vicious flu bugs from the late 60s and early 70s, namely the Hong Kong flu and the Asian flu. Spouse and I survived both in our 20s-early 30s when we were healthy young specimens laid low and mostly in bed for a week by both. Complete recovery took about 3 weeks total.
    Headache, serious body aches, fever alternating with chills seemingly at the turn of some enigmatic bodily switch, and unparalled fatigue. It was a major triuimph to make it out of bed and to the bathroom and back again. Drinking to keep yourself halfway hydrated was exhausting as was eating whenever you had interest in food of any kind. Hellacious way to lose weight. Recovery was and is slow; the foolish try to rush it and invariably wind up in relapse that can be worse than the first round. It is accomplished in fits and starts that will not be denied, and you know when it is time to rest or else.
    Take it easy you two so neither ends up in the ER. A dear friend in Houston had it in December and took sensible care of herself but still developed a nasty case of bronchitis several weeks later serious enough to land her in the ER with difficulty breathing.
    She’s pretty much back to normal strength a month later.

    This ought to be interesting…especially at MSNBC without Obama lackey, Jeff Immelt, to protect them.

    Comcast will acquire control of 100% of NBCUniversal, buying General Electric’s 49% stake in the company for $16.7 billion. Comcast will also acquire the property that GE has at 30 Rockefeller Plaza and at CNBC’s headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey for an additional $1.4 billion.
    By acquiring the property, it is likely that the GE logo that has adorned the top of 30 Rockefeller Plaza since 1988 will be replaced. Before being called the GE Building, it was known as the RCA building. According to CNBC’s Carl Quintanilla, Comcast will be getting the naming rights to the building in the deal.

    Except for concluding that liberal-thinking folks are in charge, and I think they are, this is a bit of a shock to me.

    LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — For wrestling, this may have been the ultimate body slam: getting tossed out of the Olympic rings.
    The vote Tuesday by the IOC’s executive board stunned the world’s wrestlers, who see their sport as popular in many countries and steeped in history as old as the Olympics themselves.

    Raise the minimum wage so we’ll have a lot less young people working, especially the blacks/hi-spanics. That’s a good plan.
    Yanno’ the scary part about this speech is that the Community Organizer in Chief believes most of his BS!

    So glad I only had to watch a few minutes of this crap. I don’t think I could stomach much more of it.
    The movie with Kristen Bell was so much better. It was romantic comedy of sorts, involving magic coins.
    It was more believable than what I heard of TBO’s speech.

    I skipped it all. In my mailbox:

    HAVE YOU EVER BEEN GUILTY OF LOOKING AT OTHERS YOUR OWN AGE AND THINKING, SURELY I CAN ‘T LOOK THAT OLD.
    WELL . . . YOU ‘LL LOVE THIS One
    MY NAME IS ALICE , AND I WAS SITTING IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR MY FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH A NEW DENTIST.
    I NOTICED HIS DDS DIPLOMA ON THE WALL, WHICH BORE HIS FULL NAME.
    SUDDENLY, I REMEMBERED A TALL, HANDSOME, DARK-HAIRED BOY WITH THE SAME NAME HAD BEEN IN MY HIGH SCHOOL CLASS SOME 40-ODD YEARS AGO.
    COULD HE BE THE SAME GUY THAT I HAD A SECRET CRUSH ON, WAY BACK THEN?
    UPON SEEING HIM, HOWEVER, I QUICKLY DISCARDED ANY SUCH THOUGHT.
    THIS BALDING, GRAY-HAIRED MAN WITH THE DEEPLY LINED FACE WAS WAY TOO OLD TO HAVE BEEN MY CLASSMATE.
    AFTER HE EXAMINED MY TEETH, I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD ATTENDED MORGAN PARK HIGH SCHOOL …
    ‘YES. YES, I DID. I’M A MUSTANG, ‘ HE GLEAMED WITH PRIDE.
    ‘WHEN DID YOU GRADUATE? ‘ I ASKED.
    HE ANSWERED, ‘IN 1967.. WHY DO YOU ASK? ‘
    ‘YOU WERE IN MY CLASS! ‘, I EXCLAIMED.
    HE LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY.
    THEN, THAT UGLY,
    OLD,
    BALD,
    WRINKLED FACED,
    FAT-ASSED,
    GRAY-HAIRED,
    DECREPIT
    SON-OF-A-B!tch
    ASKED ME,
    ‘WHAT DID YOU TEACH??? ‘

    Too bad.
    Rand Paul knows better and will dance with them that brung him, and he brings a bunch of Daddy’s followers as well. I wonder if he’s ready for the onslaught the Establishment types will bring on him in the name of someone more “electable.”

    So glad I did not watch Obamaramadingdong. Spouse and I watched the final double episode (#173) of Deep Space Nine instead. Have been working our way through the whole series for almost a year, and we both think it was the best of the Star Trek spinoffs. Guess it’s on to ST Next Generation.
    Caught the last few minutes of Marco’s rebuttal and have not seen Rand’s yet.
    Thanks to Texpat #84 for the Karl Rove expose. It gives substance to the creepy thoughts/feelings about him circulating amongst grassroots conservatives for the past few years. Conservative my foot. Ted Cruz’s victory must have been hard for him to swallow. And likely even harder to swallow is Ted’s growing support base throughout thre country now that he’s in the Senate.

    I just finished watching Rubio in Spanish and, yes, it was a boring speech and it came across much more as a campaign speech (for future political ambition, no doubt) than a response to President Obama. But what’s certain, I think, that if he were to give many of those talkingf points in Spanish and on Spanish-speaking television (which is a huge market in the US) it’s going to make waves.

    Yes, Rand Paul’s response was much more educational than Marco Rubio’s response.

    Good morning Hamsters. Everybody snap out of the doldrums from last night. It could be worse, as Texpat opined last night from is sick bed (#86). You could be stuck on the Carnival cruise ship that is limping its way to Mobile and resembles a Somalian refugee vessel by now. And it is reported that the head honcho of Carnival is committing slow suicide professionally by his press release that is filled with apologies but also a claim that the passengers are sending messages that exaggerate conditions. Ummm, cellphone pics lie? Texts/calls lie? The Coast Guard lies? Suggestion to anyone who owns Carnival stock: SELL NOW. 🙂
