  1. I doubt I listen. I dislike making myself ill.
    But I predict a new SotU record for saying , “I”. Or other self referring phrase.

    The news this morning reported a few statics from previous SotU addresses.
    Shortest/fewest words George Washington
    Longest/most words Jimmy Carter

    (claimed to be do to all the long interruptions to applaud

  2. I’m not watching. I only watched part of one several years ago, and I made the mistake of playing the Obama drinking game where you take a drink every time he says “I”. I think I passed out before the twenty minute mark. I can’t stand the sound of his stammering, droning voice, anyway.

    How about 0ne Billion dollars, your Highness?

    How about 1.25 Billion ?

    OK your Highness, let’s not haggle, agreed.

    Agreed. I must now bring this before the elders, get back to me in a month Ms. Kerry.

    Thank you kindly,your Highness.

    Who would want to listen to that drivel ?

  5. That’s OK, no offense taken. He was a Vietnam veteran, all right, but the “alleged” part applies to the THREE (count ’em, 3) Purple Hearts he received for what were essentially Band-Aid injuries. Or so they say. I wasn’t there, so I can’t argue much about it.
