I have zero intention of watching tonight’s State of the Union speech by President Obama. To give you an indication of how much I intend to NOT watch the speech here’s a list of things I’d rather do than watch Obama tonight.
1) Attend a three hour Ivy League symposium on Nancy Pelosi’s great theological wisdom called “From Aquinas to Pelosi.”
2) Watch Season 1 DVD of “The Good Guys.” The extended Director’s version.
3) Drink Pop Rocks and soda.
4) Discuss all the successes that the “Spirit of Vatican II” has had on the Catholic Church.
5) Aerobicize to a Jane Fonda video. And I’d be rocking the leotards ’cause that’s how I roll.
6) Watch a Jane Fonda double feature starting with “Stanley and Iris” and “Monster in Law.”
7) Hang out with my gassy buddy Rich in a science lab with all the bunsen burners on high.
8) Nair Ernest Borgnine’s back
9) Nair Nancy Pelosi’s back.
10) Read Vox Nova. Even the combox!!!!!!!
Please let me know what you’d rather do than watch Obama’s State of the Union show tonight.

Watch the State of the Union with the sound off.
January 25, 2011 at 8:15 pm
Play drinking bingo to the SOTU.

Have dental work done, and that's saying something!

Clean my cat's litter box, fold laundry, make lunches for school, get breakfast for the kids set up, say my rosary and put out the garbage. At times like this being a control freak pays off.
January 25, 2011 at 8:30 pm
Yippee for no television! (well- I guess I could watch it on the computer)
I'll be folding laundry and deep clean the kitchen a la Subvet
January 25, 2011 at 8:30 pm
Watch Keith Olbermann! Oh Wait… Aww…that's too bad…
January 25, 2011 at 8:37 pm
Re-arranging my basement furniture. No, really, that's actually what I'll be doing.
January 25, 2011 at 8:57 pm
Parse and translate classical Latin works.
(legitimately)
January 25, 2011 at 8:57 pm
Clean out the fridge. At least that's garbage I can do something about.
January 25, 2011 at 9:02 pm
Maybe I am just not much of a blogger, but I never heard of Vox Nova. I looked at it. Golly. They liked Bono's rendition. There is a whole other side out there. Scary.
January 25, 2011 at 9:08 pm
I'll still be at work when it starts.
I will also probably take the LONG way home listening to the cd's I have in the car
January 25, 2011 at 9:08 pm
Watch the countdown clock until Paul Ryan speaks.
January 25, 2011 at 9:25 pm
Eucharistic Adoration
January 25, 2011 at 9:32 pm
Listen to James Cameron talk about Jesus. Listen to Al Gore talk about ANYTHING. Take out my 4 month old son's poopie diaper garbage sack that weighs 50 lbs and smells like death! (My wonderful hubby is the one who usually takes it out!)
January 25, 2011 at 10:03 pm
I'll be watching The Haney Golf Project on the Golf Channel. Or playing Lord of the Rings Online. Or watching Red Wings hockey. Maybe all 3 at once.
January 25, 2011 at 10:14 pm
Isn't there a rerun of Sarah Palin's Alaska on somewhere I can watch?
January 25, 2011 at 10:24 pm
I'm not allowed to watch. My husband is afraid I'd throw up over the seating arrangements. (I do have a touchy gag reflex.) Also when B.O. speaks I kind of turn into Linda Blair. I use language that is not normally in my vocabulary, I spew green soup, and sometimes my head spins. I think it's because the darkest part of my soul hears the call of the son of a Jackal when B.O. speaks.
January 25, 2011 at 11:03 pm
I'll catch up on all the articles in Creative Minority Report I've missed.

Drink beer and by my 3rd, maybe Obama will make sense.
Otherwise, I'm enjoying my beer after having just gotten back home from D.C. doing the March for Life. That was much better and more worth my time than watching the SOTU.

I'll be watching with the Catholic Advocate's live blog in front of it (AMP, Catholic Key, Life News, SBA List, et al)
