pm317 म्हणाले...: I will be watching Bravo! and they are not planning on showing SOTU.; २०/१/१५, ८:१४ AM
MadisonMan म्हणाले...: It's also creepy that they say Barack instead of The President. He's not your friend.; २०/१/१५, ८:१५ AM
pm317 म्हणाले...: He's not your friend.

But, but.. he is everybody's boyfriend! Oh, that was so easy..:); २०/१/१५, ८:१६ AM
Jaq म्हणाले...: Seems like they would know you prefer to be called Althouse.; २०/१/१५, ८:२१ AM
Jane the Actuary म्हणाले...: Hey, anyone know when the transcript will be available for picking apart?; २०/१/१५, ८:२६ AM
Paul म्हणाले...: I have no interest in watching Barry the Buffoon on TV.

And I bet SCOTUS and both republican houses of congress have no interest to.

Say, what if they gave a State of The Union Address and nobody came?

I'll be watching a DVD with wife cause I ain't coming.; २०/१/१५, ८:३४ AM
furious_a म्हणाले...: The emailer is an imposter, Prof Althouse (auto-correct"Airhose").

The real Joe Biden would be "literally pumped up".; २०/१/१५, ८:३८ AM
Jaq म्हणाले...: The only way I heard about it until yesterday was when they, creeplike, posted a tweet on the hashtag for the Patriots vs Colts game. Who needs that kind of creepiness and invasion into other spaces?; २०/१/१५, ८:३९ AM
chuck म्हणाले...: Think I'll skip tonight's booty call and read about it later.; २०/१/१५, ८:४३ AM
Matt Sablan म्हणाले...: I feel it's important to watch. I'll watch it, if I can find a stream.; २०/१/१५, ८:५० AM
rehajm म्हणाले...: so we can give our fellow Democrats that extra boost they'll need to persevere through 2015.

Translated: We need you to reload our Starbucks cards.; २०/१/१५, ८:५५ AM
Laslo Spatula म्हणाले...: Ann,

Tonight, turn down the lights and light some scented candles: Barack is going to make sweet, sweet love to America.

Ann, when Barack looks into that camera realize that he is looking at you and you only: Barack knows your dreams and desires, and -- oh yes --you will feel the heat.

Listen as his words caress you in places that you never thought possible. For just a small donation you will experience the tingle only Barack can provide.

And -- while Barack will take his sweet, sweet time making you feel special all over, we need the money as soon as possible.

Joe Biden: Pimpin' Ain't Easy.

I am Laslo.; २०/१/१५, ८:५६ AM
eustace म्हणाले...: I enjoy the liberal use of "us" when they're talking about obtaining "your" money.; २०/१/१५, ८:५९ AM
Known Unknown म्हणाले...: GIRD YOUR LOINS ANN!!!!!!; २०/१/१५, ९:०५ AM
Laslo Spatula म्हणाले...: Ann,

We Democrats need to keep Obama's pimp hand strong. The idea of you donating two-hundred dollars to the cause creates a stirring in my loins that I know you would appreciate: and -- for an extra fifty dollars -- Obama will undress you with his bedroom eyes. I knew you'd like that.

Joe Biden: Pimpin' Ain't Easy.

I am Laslo.; २०/१/१५, ९:०९ AM
mccullough म्हणाले...: Lame Ducks speeches bore more than the usual speeches.; २०/१/१५, ९:१६ AM
Tank म्हणाले...: Will there be a drinking game?

Oh forget it, I can't watch that s*** regardless.

Barf.; २०/१/१५, ९:१९ AM
MayBee म्हणाले...: It's also creepy that they say Barack instead of The President. He's not your friend.

Imagine they are targeting people like Eleanor Rigby and it makes sense.; २०/१/१५, ९:२३ AM
Bobber Fleck म्हणाले...: I'm amazed at the lack of Hans and Franz related comments.; २०/१/१५, ९:२६ AM
Unknown म्हणाले...: free community college to folks who've earned it

So, no one then. See what Joe did there?; २०/१/१५, ९:३५ AM
Wince म्हणाले...: How "pumped" can Biden be?

There was not one exclamation point in the entire missive!

Kind of reflects a latent acknowledgement that everything on Obama's agenda is a bunch of political posturing bullshit.; २०/१/१५, ९:४४ AM
Big Mike म्हणाले...: So did you send the $200?; २०/१/१५, १०:०३ AM
cubanbob म्हणाले...: As a private sector net taxpayer businessman why would I waste my time watching tonight?

I already know what he is going to say:
"Bob ignore your lying eyes. Things are so much better now than before I took office and things will get even better if Congress just passes everything I ask for. And stop fussing about raising your taxes, it's for the good of the people. You are for the good of the people aren't you?"

Democrats always expect the taxpayers to work for free but somehow their constituents not so much. If Obama wants to offer 'free' community college educations then those who work for the colleges ought to set the example by working for free.; २०/१/१५, १०:१७ AM
Thorley Winston म्हणाले...: FX is starting the final season of Justified tonight.; २०/१/१५, १०:१९ AM
madAsHell म्हणाले...: Is he talking about his inflatable penile implant??; २०/१/१५, १०:२९ AM
Original Mike म्हणाले...: I'll try and watch, but I don't make it very far with him anymore. He has to be the most arrogant prick in politics. And that's saying a lot.; २०/१/१५, १०:४६ AM
Dave D म्हणाले...: I love how Biden lists the cash and prizes you will get for simply voting democrats in to office. Pathetic......; २०/१/१५, १०:५४ AM
अनामित म्हणाले...: There's that word "folks" again.

They must have tested that word and found lot's of folks like to be called folks.; २०/१/१५, १०:५६ AM
Sam L. म्हणाले...: I think he meant "pimped".; २०/१/१५, ११:४४ AM
YoungHegelian म्हणाले...: "Tooo-night, tooo-night,
I'll get pumped up tooo-night."; २०/१/१५, ११:४७ AM
अनामित म्हणाले...: It's really creepy that someone who professes to be informed and educated about politics doesn't seem to know the difference between "Big Government" and "political party".

Tho maybe she does know the difference but chose to be untruthful anyways. After all, that Amazon portal runs a lot better when fed a steady diet of red meat.; २०/१/१५, १२:०७ PM
Jaq म्हणाले...: After all, that Amazon portal runs a lot better when fed a steady diet of red meat.

Ha ha ha! Those ads really stick in your craw, don't they? Good.

You would probably get a lot further if you just stated your case against the tag. I sort of agree with you, except I was going to say "big data" instead of "big government."; २०/१/१५, १:५७ PM
Marty Keller म्हणाले...: Laslo wins the thread by a mile.; २०/१/१५, १:५९ PM

It's really creepy when any American doesn't know that the Democrats make no such distinction.; २०/१/१५, २:०१ PM
Bruce Hayden म्हणाले...: I am trying to understand why anyone is going to watch this tonight. We know what Obama is going to say already. And, that the Dems in Congress with enthusiastically applaud when he does so. But, absent a majority in either House of Congress, most of his proposals are going to be still born. No free community college. No tax increases on the middle class, and unlikely for the rich. Etc. It is pure theater, designed to rally the faithful, and, really, nothing more.; २०/१/१५, २:०९ PM
Bruce Hayden म्हणाले...: If you want to have fun, try this from the Atlantic: The Language of the State of the Union: An interactive chart reveals how the words presidents use reflect the twists and turns of American history.; २०/१/१५, २:१४ PM
अनामित म्हणाले...: Why do ppl who write batch email feel the need to personalize it so many times? When you contact a real friend how many times do you use their name? Once?

It reminds me of conferences when you can tell people read a book on how to network and they keep repeating your name while making eye contact and lingering over the handshake.

( Brrr. Anyone else feel a chill?); २०/१/१५, २:१६ PM
Guildofcannonballs म्हणाले...: Hitler knew about the effects of repetition too.; २०/१/१५, २:२५ PM
furious_a म्हणाले...: How "pumped" can Biden be?

This pumped.; २०/१/१५, २:५२ PM
furious_a म्हणाले...: I stopped watching the SOTU after I ran out of adding machine tape during Bush II's fifth address.

Hasn't gotten any better since.; २०/१/१५, २:५४ PM
Bruce Hayden म्हणाले...: I think that the way to watch the SOTU tonight is to follow people drunk blogging it. Not quite up for drunk blogging it myself. Part of the allure is to pick words that occur frequently enough in the speech that if you take a drink whenever you hear it, you will be quite plastered well before the end. I don't think though that "I" counts - or you would get drunk too quickly.; २०/१/१५, ३:४० PM
अनामित म्हणाले...: Those ads really stick in your craw, don't they? Good

Monetizing her blog doesn't bother me at all. Rather it is the dishonest and slimy "clickbait" and "red meat" that Althouse is constantly creating that I find to be distasteful. It says a lot about her, both as a person and her opinions. She's simply shilling for dollars, with little to no regard for the truth.

And the way you took great delight because you thought something "stuck in my craw", even tho you agree she is bending the truth with the "big government" tag, says a lot about you as a person as well. Only difference being she actually gets paid for her evil ways while you are doing it pro bono.; २०/१/१५, ३:४७ PM
I'm Full of Soup म्हणाले...: Biden has been in the Imperial City for 41 straight years. Just think of how f-ed up things have gotten in that time. Cause and effect?; २०/१/१५, ४:२८ PM
I'm Full of Soup म्हणाले...: The last presidential speech I watched was when Bush announced the invasion of Iraq.; २०/१/१५, ४:२९ PM
अनामित म्हणाले...: "She's simply shilling for dollars, with little to no regard for the truth."

Because she equates the Democrat party with big government?

Way to set the bar so low.; २०/१/१५, ४:४१ PM

"Monetizing her blog doesn't bother me at all."

It doesn't? Well great then how about Quick Donate $10 to her Amazon portal? Maybe like big government loving creepy stalker sounding Joe Biden, it will pump you up.
madisonfella. You don't mind if I cal you you by your first name - madisonfella - do you, madisonfella?; २०/१/१५, ७:२६ PM
Meade म्हणाले...: Thank you so much, madisonfella -- and don't forget to watch tonight.; २०/१/१५, ७:३४ PM
chickelit म्हणाले...: Etymology of Madisonfella

noun, back formed from Madison (fourth US President) + fella, third person present of infinitive fellāre, perfect active fellāvī, supine fellātum; prostate fellātaman.

Usually considered vulgar; २०/१/१५, १०:२६ PM
chickelit म्हणाले...: "Pumped up" translates as "aufgepumpt" in German.

That reminds me, Here's a message from Kaleefornia about the SOTU.; २०/१/१५, १०:४८ PM
stlcdr म्हणाले...: Donate because...Democrats!1!111!1

As if the notion that a Democrat government is the only way to run a country.

We do have a big government and this is creepy.; २१/१/१५, ४:३१ AM
Known Unknown म्हणाले...: Your tag "Big government sounds like a creepy stalker" needs to be changed to "Big government IS a creepy stalker."; २१/१/१५, १०:२४ AM
