Liveblogging the SOTU
By Nathan Nance
I'm planning on liveblogging the State of the Union Address tomorrow over at my blog, Common Sense. Come on over, it'll be fun. I'll pop some popcorn and bring some licorice. Really, it'll be great.
From what I understand, the speech will be divided evenly between foreign and domestic policy. That should make it interesting since I'm more of a domestic policy wonk, and not a foreign policy specialist.
For those of you who were thinking of skipping it, I have a way to make it fun: a drinking game! The rules are very simple.
If he says "freedom", take a shot of tequila
If he says "liberty", take a shot of vodka
If he actually uses the phrase "freedom is on the march" and then smirks and pauses for applause, eat the worm
If he says "ownership society", sip you beer
If he says "personalized accounts", hit the Jack Daniels
This way, everybody can enjoy the SOTU... and Jenna won't have to yawn during the speech. I should probably put in a disclaimer that this game should not be attempted by anyone, since it is almost sure that he will use each of these phrases several dozen times in the 40-minute speech. You'll get alcohol poisoning before he's done talking about his privatization scheme.
