For all this talk about the SOTU, what’s the chance of anything useful coming out of it?
Obama’s SOTU speech was nothing but hidden messages urging violence.
I enjoy NBC’s three hours of comedy Thursday with its two non-contiguous hours of laughs.
I hope to one day win an Oscar for best unsupportive actor.
I’m still confused; what is Obama saying is the Sputnik here? Like, is an actual Sputnik thing going to spur us to innovate, or is this more of an imaginary Sputnik? Or is the Sputnik inside all of us? Or was Bruce Willis Sputnik all along?
Has there always been that big “No Biting!” sign on the wall in the House chamber, or is that a new addition?
Why is Biden choking on his sock? How did that even get in his mouth?
Are high speed rails rails we fire at high speeds into our enemies?
I think the effectiveness of the speech will be based on how closely he stuck to empty platitudes.
You have ten more minutes to comment on the State of the Union speech, and then, as usual, we’ll never mention it again.
Maybe it’s just been on too many seasons, but the philosophical discussion each patient spurs in House are seeming more and more artificial.
Thought Obama’s speech was empty, Ryan’s was pretty good and short, and Bachman’s was distracting. Didn’t watch any of them. The Veronica Mars episode my wife had on was so-so, though.
Thanks to CW quickly congealing on Twitter, maybe I can avoid ever directly listening to a politician ever again.
I like to say the word sputnik.
SPOOT-nik.
Makes me giggle.

I have never watched a Democrat give one of those boring speeches and I never will.
Yay me!
“For all this talk about the SOTU, what’s the chance of anything useful coming out of it?”
Zip, zero, zilch, nada. Which is why I watched a movie. From what I’m hearing I made the right choice. Unlike the O-bots, I’m not swayed by his “oratory”.
No, it’s a form of rapid transportation intended to quickly deliver our money to Obama’s crony’s.
“Are high speed rails rails we fire at high speeds into our enemies?”
Hah! I wish. I think they have something to do with very, very fast trains. Of course they are nowhere near as fast as jetliners, so I don’t understand this move backwards to 19th century technology. Must be one of those European thingies lefties are so fond of, like very high taxes and hate speech laws.
Speaking of NBC, every time a show gets canceled its like a roll of the dice. You might get a better one to replace it.. you might get crap that will be popular and waste years hogging that time slot.
I am thinking its time to replace “the office.” It had its first few great seasons but at this point they are spinning the wheels and kicking dead horses.
Raising hope is fine but its no my name is earl as there is no magnanimous Jason Lee character
parks and recreation is dull and disappointing
Running Wylde I think is canceled
30 Rock is sputtering out
Community of course is awesome. Archer rocks and its coming back starting i think thursday.
Sure did miss watching Nancy leap up and down like she was sitting in an electrified seat. At least she livened up what is usually a pretty boring affair.
It’s not as though we weren’t already aware of Chief Big Talk No Walk’s destructive philosophy, but I encourage you all to read this post anyhow.
Sputnik? Obama went Sputnik on us? Of all of the ills in the world he talked about Sputnik? Reagan would have punched his speech writer in his/her dumb monkey face with such a word!
Apparently, the way to control an unprecedented and unsustainable level of spending is to freeze spending at that insane level for the next 5 years.
High speed rail is the quickest way for logic to go through one of those ears and out the other without getting lost in that big empty head.
House was better when the eponymous character still popped pills and didn’t afraid of anything.
He’s too nice now.
The Federal Government has probably projected a 10% increase in spending for each year for the next 5 years. They will cut this to a 5% increase and call it a spending cut. Then they will overspend the 5% by 15% each year for a net of 20% increases every year. And then they will go out on the campaign trail and tell us rubes they cut spending!!! And we will all be like arumph, arumph, arumph, and we will go vote for dill-weed for another 6 year term to do the same stuff!
You’d think that House, being such a genius and all, would figure out by now that he should ignore his first three conclusions and just wait until the patient is at death’s door for his big revelation.
Are high speed rails rails we fire at high speeds into our enemies?
Absolutely. It’s called the rail gun and it is awesome. “The U.S. Navy has tested a railgun that accelerates a 3.2 kg (7 pound) projectile to 2.4 kilometers per second (7,875 feet per second).” [Technology Review: “Electromagnetic Railgun Blasts Off”] “High speed rails” is a code-name dreamed up by the Joint Chiefs of Staff to fool Hopey McChange into supporting it. (Cackle of maniacal glee.)
Are high speed rails rails we fire at high speeds into our enemies?
I thought high speed rails were democrats seeing who could be first to blame right wingers for all the things they caused.
“I’m still confused; what is Obama saying is the Sputnik here?”
Not sure how a guy who hates America tries to pull off Reagan’s “shining city on the hill” or Kennedy’s “we chose to go to the moon” in the same lousy speech…after two years of destroying everything great about America, including gutting our space program.
Sputnik moment? I can’t get my mind around it. The Sputnik moment occurred when the American people collectively wet their pants after they realized that the Sovs could nail our cities with thermonukular devices at will — with little if any notice. That was bad.
Obama would have been better to call this a Leika moment. Lieka the dog was the first animal in space. Unfortunately for Leika, it didn’t end well for her, as the Sovs were in a hurry for a propaganda gain and so didn’t bother with a plan to bring her down.
Leika, The Space Dog, sending signals to liberal tinfoil hats since 1957. Leika The Space Dog approves of O-bah-muhh’s Sputnik Moment. He obviously received Leika’s message to his tinfoil hat.
Was the SOTU America’s Sputum Moment? I sure wanted to hack up a loogie.
Sputnik: a Beatnik that just got Sput on.
If you’re wondering what a Beatnik is, then you’re wondering what a Sputnik is, also.
With every time a Democrat says,’High-Speed Rail’, I hear The Simpsons ‘Monorail’ Song. —-“Sorry Mom, the Mob has spoken.”
He wants us to refer to him as President Sputnik or O’Sputnik for short.
How many Republicans ended up with a knife in the back, or throat slit, from sitting next to a Democrat? Inquiring minds want to know.
Democrats sitting next to Republicans? Who did the RINOs sit next to?
Something useful to come out of the SOTU: …… Um, High School Kids got to look up ‘Sputnik’, on Wikipedia?
I’m afraid to look up ‘Sputnik Moment’ on the Urban Dictionary. I’m pretty sure it would be something Bawney Fwank would do with his BoyToys.
Another lie from obobma, he said we built the first railroad going across the whole US. Every western I ever saw showed it was the “slant eyed Chinese” that built it. I really don’t know the difference between the “slant eyed Chinese” and the other Chinese is.
“Winning The Future? WTF?”
The perfect slogan and bumper sticker for the 2012 campaign.
Reagan spoke (in his Time of Choosing speech) of vast government spending and imbalanced budgets, lamenting that “We have raised our debt limit three times in the last twelve months, and now our national debt is one and a half times bigger than all the combined debts of all the nations in the world.” We’re getting ready to raise the debt limit again. The national debt in 1964 was about $312 billion. Barack Obama raised it by three times as much in the past seven months.

To be honest, the nation debt rose during Reagan’s presidency as well, but at least we had something to show for it.
