Some are calling tonight’s SOTU “Date Night” as Republicans and Democrats have decided to sit with one another. Isn’t that special.
Meanwhile, in order to get through Teh One’s address with some semblance of sanity in tact, we will be live blogging and playing Obama Bingo!
To play:
Click any of the Bingo card links below, then right click the card, and hit Print or Save As and then print. All of the Bingo cards below contain the same words/phrases, except for a couple
but they are in different positions on the cards.
Card #1
Card #2
Card #3
Card #4
Play All Four!!
Winning Bingos are: corner to corner X, any solid line down, across, or diagonally, a Z, L, or N, all four border lines filled in, or a full card. If you achieve a winning Bingo configuration, you simple stand up and yell “S.T.F.U. Obama”, and, of course, please let us know of your win in comments.
There is space at the bottom of your card to count with hatchmarks the number of times ‘bama points or pounds the podium, and the number of times he “uhs:” or “umms”.
Good luck!

Sorry, anchor babies need to be immediately deported with their parents. They can have dual citizenship and when they are 18 can come over and live here. Until then – they grow up where their parents are citizens.

Plenty of unemployed legal citizens could be doing that

I heard it on the car radio and continued it on TV at home – had to turn it off as I did not want to barf up my Himalayan take out dinner. The highlight was not having to see Pelosi do the Jackass in the box bounce-she didn’t seem too enthused on the floor. Same old Kumbaya except this time with more vim and vigor. Its like watching the preacher preach after he’s done exactly what he now says not to do.

Because I expect an “intervention” from my friends any day now. Even those who no longer speak/interact with me anymore have donned this air of pity and come up and wordlessly hug me when I rarely venture out. They can’t fathom a word I say…and all I post are freaking fact-based articles…along with a few taunts, I admit.
TexasTigress 01.25.11 at 10:45 pm
Dances – I went to the Dr.today for my follow up and he said I’m doing great but no sex for 6 more weeks and I said “why” (thinking he would say it might be painful )and he said , “Because your small intestines can fall out of your vagina .” !!!!!!!!
For goodness sakes ! If they would tell you that in the begining NO ONE would ever even ASK ! Holy Crap ! How would you explain THAT ?? ” Ummmm , nurse … Little help here please.”

omg….Tea Party response? I’m hearing snippets from up here…anyone still watching tv??
Dragonfly 01.25.11 at 10:51 pm
hearing about the date night just solidified the sense of foreboding. The Plutocracy is here. Innocent life, yeah right while supporting the corporate war pigs with a 2.7 billion dollar a week war campaign that kills innocent civilians aka collateral damage.
I didn’t listen, so tell me if I am wrong.
Zee, the fake Southern accent is one reason I can’t listen to him. He’s a classic fake lawyer, and fake lawyers offend me. I used to work for a white Harvard educated, brilliant, Yankee, who would pour on the fake southern when talking to his NAACP friends (sources for clients of course). Then there is the thing about O reminding me of my ex husband, another narcissist.
Dragonfly 01.25.11 at 10:54 pm
TT 152 that is soooo wrong! can’t the docs come up with a better surgery? I mean really!!! reminds me of the whole “if the only way to test for prostate cancer was to put a dick in a vise, there would be a better way, meanwhile I guess I better schedule my mammogram.”
AGE OF AQUARIUS BAAYYYBEEEE
Zee 01.25.11 at 10:54 pm
otoh, it pissed me off no end that Zero sided with the Republicans on lawsuits against doctors! Frivolous? Oh yeah, like when they chopped off the wrong breast???
Every single time Zero said something actually good, like how we should value academics as much as athletics, etc, he followed it with Republican talking points. Such as punishing public schools and teachers who didn’t rank at the top (who’s doing the ranking and what challenges are they dealing with??) and meeting future energy needs with “clean coal” (please!) and “natural gas” (ever hear of FRACKING??).
It was sleight of tongue.

just pray you don’t dream, like I did last night, of your male dachshund somehow giving birth to a litter of puppies, of which only two survived, and you somehow have to get him to the vet-hospital to get him sewn up…and I’m leaving out other gory details.
I blame it on my watching a couple of episodes of House, and I have a very strict rule, usually, of NO medical tv shows whatsoever, no exceptions.

Dragonfly 01.25.11 at 11:12 pm
thanks, Zee!
wow, sounds like O is going to favor so called tort reform, which I call tort deform. In Florida, you can’t sue for med mal unless you have shelled out some thousands of dollars to hire an expert with a certain set of qualifications to review the records and, if he/she has the opinion there was a breach of the standard of care, and if he/she executes an affidavit swearing such, THEN you can file the lawsuit.
yep, that’s freaking frivolous all right. Tort deform has left a lot of people without a remedy who actually have legitimate gripes, but let’s not worry about them because those insurance companies really need to have neat and tidy risk assessments, you know. It’s ALL about them.
Oh, yes, Zee, my ex also has a dramatic body language. He would talk and talk and talk , . . . bs bs bs . . . and I would agree at 11:00 p.m. just so I could go to bed and catch some sleep before a baby woke up, and he would look at me, very seriously and say, “no, but I want you to really agree, not just say it. You need to understand.” blah blah blah. I might just be trained a bit for interrogation and torture in the field. I’m such a nice kid I would never make it in the field, though. TT knows.
SO the real question out there prior to the talk was who is Michelle sitting next to during the SOTU? So, who sat by her? I am just really excited to find out. (whoooooo cares?????)
Dragonfly 01.25.11 at 11:13 pm

a snip from the link HC posted:
But some of the pressing topics facing the nation were omitted from the speech, as Obama didn’t mention gun control, climate change or the decline of the middle class that was the theme of his presidential campaign. Of particular note was his decision not to discuss the ever-deepening foreclosure crisis plaguing communities across the nation, even as he touted stock market gains and surging corporate profits.
The housing market is entering one of the darkest years in U.S. history. Last year, one million American families lost their home to foreclosure, taking a heavy toll on communities and market functionality alike.
Obama said he’s seen the way the world has changed in a declining American landscape that includes shuttered factory windows, vacant storefronts, deserted mainstreets, dwindled paychecks, and disappeared jobs. Foreclosed homes, arguably the saddest images to materialize from the recession’s steady erosion of the American middle class, are absent from his vision.
Dragonfly 01.25.11 at 11:28 pm
BCL, thanks. Now that’s cool. Sweet Christine, my little girl’s age. I hope Jared makes some special friends in the institution.
Zee 01.25.11 at 11:29 pm
Dragonfly…I cold go on at length about the narcissist ex…I definitely feel for Michelle on that front, when that ass Zero interrupted her on national tv and kept putting her in her place. Yeah, I know…she was one to talk about Hillary, but still…her life can be no picnic, jaunts to Spain notwithstanding.
My ex finally replaced me and it was downright creepy to meet her, something she made sure to do…she’s so eager to please…with the same artistic home as I created, and the same savory dinners…only she’s thinner and with more monetary means. And here he is, on high, having tossed his family on the trash heap, and yet he feels compelled to weigh in on how I’m handling everything on my own…at the utmost expressing wonder and surprise at anything I do well, and marking every last little possible slip, as well as indicating he’d be weighing in on matters that no longer could possibly involve him.
Maddening. It totally triggers me when I see Zero swaggering about what kind of dog he’d “allow” his girls to get, at long last, and then naming the poor mutt after himself. Sheesh.

Zee 178 were we married to the same guy? they must be on the same low frequency. One day can I visit when your ex is going to be in the same room and can I punch him in the face, really hard? it will be perfect because I can play up the drunk Southern Belle bit and get away with most anything.

#51 – Headclunker 01.25.11 at 9:34 pm I hear that the next bubble about to burst is the higher education bubble.
—————
Afraid the burst may occur at a much lower ed level: heard on TV today (sorry no link) that several states are planning to cut the teaching of cursive writing from their curricula.
Of course, diminishing the lower ed level will guarantee failure at levels above.
gojoyknocks 01.26.11 at 10:01 am
theamericanway, I was horrified when my then 7 year old brilliant grandson told me he couldn’t pass out the Christmas presents because he couldn’t read cursive. I immediately bought workbooks. Four years later his penmanship, punctuation , and spelling are better than mine. I have him write the opening paragraphs of the classics as my birthday and xmas presents.
gojoyknocks 01.26.11 at 10:11 am
What are the chances?
I never sleep. Last night I fell asleep fifteen minutes into the speech and woke up six hours later in the middle of the same sentence. Spooky.

One thing is for sure, forgeries will be much easier (prescriptions, contracts, checks); certain fonts will bite the dust, as will handwriting analysis; no one will be able to read documents in the original… the US Constitution comes to mind.
My own handwriting is a bit difficult for some to read so for ease of reading I am likely to print letters or cards to children and seniors. But, that’s a choice.

Figured I owed you all a link regarding cursive writing controversy: The End of Cursive?
…Forty-one states have so far adopted the new Common Core State Standards for English, which does not require cursive. Set by the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) and the National Governors Association (NGA), the standards provide a general framework for what students are expected to learn before college. States are allowed the option of re-including cursive if they so choose, which is what Massachusetts and California have done. But the latest to contemplate abandoning the script is Georgia, where teachers and administrators will meet in March to discuss erasing the longhand style from its lesson plans, says Georgia Department of Education spokesman Matt Cardoza.
The argument is that cursive is time-consuming and not as useful as the keyboard skills students will need as they move on to junior high and high school, he says. As it happens, cursive is also not on the tests that rate schools under the No Child Left Behind law, and increasingly schools gear their curricula to excel at those tests, says Kathleen Wright, a national project manager for Zaner-Bloser, a publisher of education writing materials. “It’s just not being assessed. That’s the biggie,” she says. “If it’s not assessed, it tends to fall by a little because people are teaching to the test….”

ABC mentioned DWP’s point of not being able to read historical documents, but failed to cite other good reasons to retain the skill.

RE: The BSOTU speech.
When BO spoke about doubling the Nations exports by 2014, the only way this could happen is by enacting policies that will be unfavorable for Main St.
1) Devalue the dollar = this would make the price of our exports affordable.
2) Lower worker wages = Union busting?
3) Fewer employees and more machine produced goods = less overhead, health ins and taxes.
Sigh, we are so screwed!

“the devil truly walks this earth…” etc.

From the BSOTU address:
“We may have different backgrounds, but we believe in the same dream that says this is a country where anything’s possible. No matter who you are. No matter where you come from.”
Does he mean Kenya? and he continues:
“That dream is why I can stand here before you tonight.”

Having a baby at 46 years old is no party. I was 40 when my girl was born. Downs Syndrome is a big issue.
http://www.ds-health.com/risk.htm
There are studies that say the fathers age is also a factor.
BigCatLover 01.26.11 at 8:50 pm
On some days Michelle’s tummy is bigger than others (maybe when she picks up a few pounds) and I think that is when the pundits start claiming she’s pregnant, but I have no inside information on this and she may be. It seems a little late in life for her to have a baby, but there are menopausal babies.

Sigh,,, have to fly to NY on Thursday (again) and hoping flight is not cancelled or we’d be screwed (again). Had to scramble couple of weeks ago, NY show after flights to Atlanta was cancelled. Threw Fred into a rental van and drove from NY to Atlanta in the snow storm – 16 hours with lots of Starbucks coffee. Got there a day later than we needed to be but still better than being stuck in NY. Thank God for GPS !
Had absolutely nothing to complain about TSA because nothing was different and we were in 3 major cities. Sailed through all check points and Freds junk was not even patted down, much to his dissappointment. I did try to smuggle a bottle of water through but didn’t succeed this time.
