The scoring is that every time the president says any of the following words you take a drink:
Infrastructure, "roads and bridges", or airportsInfrastructure doesn't have to be preceded by "crumbling" to count. Now go watch! If the evening news is any indication, I guarantee you'll be drunk by 9:30.
State of the Union Addresses are predictable. President Trump has worked hard to make American prosperous and optimistic again and I think that he's doing a good job despite what you'd hear on the contemptible, lying, corrupt CNN or MSNBC reports. I find the clapping and ovations annoying, but I struggled through it - sober.
ReplyDeleteI have an almost perfectly unblemished record of never watching them. I think I watched W's speech right after 9/11 (so 4 months?) SOTU speeches were about right before Woodrow Wilson. Maybe best when Jefferson sent congress a letter and didn't even go talk to them.
DeleteWhat actually prompted this was the sheer number of times they said infrastructure on the evening news. After it became noticeable, my wife made a tally sheet and found they said it over 15 times in a half hour.
On the other hand, if you only drank when he said "I...", you'd be stone sober at the end. Unlike listening to the Chimp in Chief speechifying...
ReplyDeleteFrom what I'm hearing from talking heads, I probably should have watched.
DeleteIf nothing else, to enjoy watching the Democrats soil their Depends.
