ItzAPirateThing 9:30 pm
Are you watching the State of the Union right now?

Pffft, Eric Cantor.
He's the congressman in the district next to mine in VA
Also Majority leader in the house.

ItzAPirateThing 9:56 pm
I'm dumb
what did that mean
earmarks?

Me 9:56 pm
Earmarks?
When a bill appropriates money for something, some of that money can be set aside in 'earmarks' to go specifically to pet projects in member's districts.
It really won't save us any money by getting rid of them.

ItzAPirateThing 9:57 pm
WELL THEN

Me 9:57 pm
IT SOUNDS GOOD THOUGH.

ItzAPirateThing 9:57 pm

flash back to history class

Me 10:13 pm
Okay, next should be the boring Republican rebuttal, then we get the crazy lady.

ItzAPirateThing 10:13 pm
Is it just going to be like "I DON'T LIKE MOST OF WHAT HE SAID"

Me 10:14 pm
Probably. Though the boring one is the new Repub budget guy, so he'll talk about money.
Gov. Chris Christie was supposed to do it, but he said no.

There's always booing. Fox News said it was flat and uninspired.

ItzAPirateThing 10:20 pm
They would

Me 10:21 pm
It wasn't one of his greatest speeches, to be sure.

ItzAPirateThing 10:22 pm
But you know how Fox is
It could have been the greatest speech of his career
And they'd still be like "Eh"

Me 10:22 pm
True.
Come ooooon, crazy lady, come on.
I don't know if they'll run at the same time, but Bachmann will get more views, just because. XD

ItzAPirateThing 10:24 pm
MY MAILBOX DOES NOT CARE

Me 10:25 pm
REPUB GUY IS ALSO NOT MOVING.

ItzAPirateThing 10:25 pm
POKE HIM WITH A STICK

Me 10:25 pm
Meeeeeh, don't invoke Giffords.

Me 10:26 pm
Prayer? Come on guys.
You just gave up two minutes of your speech.
THE DEBT WILL KILL US ALL.

ItzAPirateThing 10:27 pm

ItzAPirateThing 10:41 pm
Ooo

Me 10:42 pm
But he's brown, so the Tea Party does not want. : /

ItzAPirateThing 10:42 pm
Obama's speech was weak! Mr. Obama has been discussing many things just like before his Rock star election, but nothing has been changed! The speech was more like a Disny world speech
Wat is a Disny world speech :|

Me 10:42 pm
Um, he did mostly end the war in Iraq. I'll give him that.

ItzAPirateThing 10:44 pm
Obama will go down in history as the most inept president of the United States. This speech was horrible. He's supposed to be the great communicator? I think Boehner was pinching Biden to keep him awake. What a snooze.

Me 10:44 pm
Um.....I think it was the other way around re: Biden and Boehner.
And I can think of much worse presidents.

ItzAPirateThing 10:44 pm
WERE WE WATCHING THE SAME THING
I should stop reading these comments

Me 10:44 pm
Probably.
Bachmann, where art thou?

ItzAPirateThing 10:46 pm
Ohh my God, the "Republican Response."

I want to punch this guy in the face. Or his voice, if that was possible. LIMITED GOVERNMENT = NO DEFICIT. Yeah, right.

Me 10:46 pm
I told you, BOOTSTRAPS

ItzAPirateThing 10:47 pm

ItzAPirateThing 10:56 pm

Me 10:56 pm
Oh very. She was doing hand waving and everything.
10:49 PM — Bachmann is delivering this to Satan, who’s standing right off camera, giving her a thumbs-up.

You need to see it when the clips go up, if you didn't see all of it. It was...special.

EDIT: Bachmann's video is up. It just....yeah.

Comments

[note-emmy.livejournal.com]

AND THIS IS WHY YOU WILL NEVER GET YOUR WORK DONE

:D BECAUSE YOU ALLOW ME TO TALK AT YOU

[eternalslacker.livejournal.com]

TECHNICALLY THIS IS MORE PRODUCTIVE THAN THE SMUT THAT IS USUALLY CONDUCTED. :|

[note_atem]

SMUT? WHERE?

[eternalslacker.livejournal.com]

NOT IN THIS POLICY MEMO.

[note_atem]

THAT'S DUMB. I AM GOING TO COMPLAIN TO MISTER AMURRIKAN FOX ABOUT THIS

[eternalslacker.livejournal.com]

ATEM, YOU R FOREIGNER, YOU CANNOT COMPLAIN.

[note_atem]

Oh. Well I guess that's true.

Carry on.

[my-closure.livejournal.com]

Man... you make politics seem interesting to me, lol!

Also... I am kinda loling at this clip. And she really... needs to look at the camera... for reals... And yeah... she needs to learn some economics.

....LOOOOLLLL!She can't read. And she doesn't seem very serious about this... STOP LAUGHING!

And man... your commentary... Hetalia has ruined me, because all I can be reminded of is America in Hetalia.

Seriously... this lady... Wow... I can't take her seriously. It has nothing to do with being a Tea Party member or a republican. It has to do with she's AWFUL at giving a speech! And seriously... WW2 analogy... So obtuse. I see why you find this all so fun to commentate on now, lol!

Here! Have a dancing America!

[eternalslacker.livejournal.com]

Dancing America ftw!

Yeah, this is really the only way to go into politics, in my opinion. If you don't try to find some amusement in it, you'll fall into a crippling depression at how stupid a lot of it is. That woman is a U.S. Congressman. She's supposed to represent people and cannot even really speak in public. So...yeah.

[my-closure.livejournal.com]

True, I suppose. Though a lot of life is kind of like that. But I definitely agree. And yeah... That's a little sad. Almost feel sorry for her. ...Almost.

And yes! Hurrah for dancing America! (Now have an icon basically explaining how I feel about politics on a normal basis, lol).
