Please join us tonight for an evening of politics under the influence at the Seattle chapter of Drinking Liberally. We start at 8:00 pm at the Montlake Ale House, 2307 24th Avenue E.
Some folks will show up earlier for dinner, or to watch President Barack Obama give the State of the…State of the Union…or State…ah… Speech to the Nation…whatever you want to call it—Speech to the Nation…. an address before a joint session of Congress. That starts at 6:00 pm.
Not in Seattle? The Drinking Liberally web site has dates and times for some 320 chapters of Drinking Liberally spread across the earth. Find one near you.
Is King County Assessor Scott Noble invited tonight to Drinking Liberally?
King County Assessor Suspected In DUI Crash
@1 Who’s gonna push his wheelchair? You? Hey Richard, do you smell a job opportunity here?
It’s a damn good speech; and I’d much rather have this guy making the decisions and policies that will determine whether we float or drown than, say, McCain or Mitch McConnell or the Seattle Times editorial board.
Holy crap, members of congress are asking President Obama to sign their copies of the speech.
Try following that Gov. Jindal
@ 4
Try following that Gov. Jindal
If he performs an actual exorcism, that might just work.
Bobby Jindhal traded in his dot for a cross. He says the Republican party believes in Energy Independence, Education, Healthcare and just about everything else Obama spoke about, but no mention of how to pay for it, just cut taxes….that’s like 5 -6 = 7. What a bunch of blow hards.
Jindal- “the Republicans went along with big spending”
Went along!!! They had the House, the Senate and the Presidency for most of that time. Who did they go along with? Themselves???
The idiot trashed “something called volcano monitoring”.
Yea, kind of important in these parts along with earthquake monitoring.
You know kind of how watching for hurricanes and tornado is important in your neck of the woods.
Oh and there is no “levitating magnet Disney/Vegas” train in the stimulus bill.
Jindal did not impress, seemed to spout the same old right wing boilerplate but I didn’t listen too closely.
Tried to do three things at once. I’ll have to replay the speech.
Just when Gov. Jindal was talking about flying magnet trains to Disneyland, I was thinking how much his cadence and wooden appearance reminded me of the “Meet the Presidents” attraction at Disneyland. The one where the animatronic robots that look like Lincoln talk about our great country.
Kind of appropriate, seeing how the GOP is using puppets to show how melting pot their white, white, so white it is almost blue, party is.
Silk purse, sow’s ear.
Did anybody else think Jindal’s facial expression seemed as if he was on the toilet, having eaten a block of cheddar the night before?
@6 If Jindal, or any other Republican, instead of FDR had addressed Congress on Dec. 8, 1941, the speech would have gone like this:
“In response to the dastardly Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor yesterday, I pledge that we will cut taxes, and will continue cutting taxes until we have won through to absolute victory!!!”
@10 They used to dress up guys like Jindal in livery and employ them as butlers. Now they dress them up in livery and employ them as governors. Which is about the same thing.
