Happy hump day, Herd! That was some SOTU last night, eh? I wish I had my old dual attention span back. I kept missing what the Prez was saying because I was watching Boehner twitching for a drink and grinding his teeth.
I was also afraid they’d break in any minute with Dorner news. Dorner has made me think of a question. Among many.
Have you ever been picked on by police? How good a consumer are you? Do you like or hate shopping? When you watch TV, can you say afterwards what that commercial you just saw was for? (I used to work at a research place and was amazed at how commercial messages just don’t stick with me.) Are you more of a word person or a number person? How do/did you handle telemarketers? Do you prefer things planned in advance or spontaneous?

Boehner says Obama lacks guts and is afraid to stand up his own party, then is led away sobbing for his daily whipping by Eric Cantor

We have some tweets on the SOTU:
Chuck Schumer standing between John McCain & Lindsey Graham. Getting between them nearly as hard as getting between Schumer & a camera.

Boehner doesn’t rise for climate change. What does he care if Ohio starts to look like Arizona? 18 holes is 18 holes.

Hmm. Fewer border crossings now than the past 40 years. Evidence of strong polices? Or is USA a less attractive destination?

I have a drink every time Boehner looks like he hates his job.

I really hope it’s not too late to send the House Republican caucus to pre-school.

Reince Priebus: “I don’t see anything in the Constitution about a right to vote. That’s up to the states.”#SOTU

If you can’t stand up to applaud protecting the right to vote, maybe being an elected representative isn’t the right job for you.
