SOTU COMES AND GOES

Last night I recorded the SOTU. I was really interested as I am every year to hear the proposals, watch the sideshow of the pols jostling for position to shake hands with the president they claim to despise, and finally to watch the reactions on the faces of  both sides. I was sure for awhile that Speaker Boehner had been replaced with a cardboard cutout, grimaced and painted orangish brown so that he could just watch on TV while smoking a fag and sipping Merlot. But then, then he moved ! It really was him.
So, anyway, the speech came and went. The Republicans came out with rebuttals. This year it took FOUR Republicans to refute everything the President proposed, even the ones that Republicans used to tout when they claimed they knew everything before Socialism came to Washington. Oh well.
You can't make these spectacles up, I won't try to.
