Your Guide to Tonight's State of the Union Address

Yes, tonight is the State of the Union speech which means it's a good time to do something that doesn't involve watching TV. But to help you survive tonight, here is the Official SFist Care Package.

First up is a parody of last year's speech. Yes, it's a year old (which is why there's a fat guy sitting behind the President when tonight there'll be our Little Nancy) but we never saw it and it's still funny. Almost as funny as the Battlestar Galactica parody but we're geeky that way. Pay careful attention to the guy playing Cheney while you're watching.

We also have a drinking game for you as there's no way to survive things like this without drinking. And here it is: go to a bar, one that plays very loud music, and drink heavily.

And finally, for those of you still wanting to brave TV, here's where you can see a list of what else is on tonight. We don't know about you, but nothing says staying informed abut the state of the union like watching "The Hills" at 6:30.

OH MY GOD can you belive Lauren and Jason broke up???!!!!!!!

I'm glad I have a DVR.

it's nights like tonight that I really really really miss Bill Clinton. Sigh.

What is with the encouragement to not watch The State of the Union? Whether or not someone agrees with the president or any of his policies, sticking their head in the ground is not going to help.

It will be on every news program for days, I can catch up with the lies then.

although, jer, that is a most excellent point (he's calling for less fuel use NOW?), there is also something to be said for watching the real-time reactions of everyone else.

like the fake clapping general.
clap. pause. clap. pause.

the shot of condi looking like a mad kitty then looking out of the corner of her eye to see if everyone else was giving a standing O as she rose.

the picture of laura bush all snuggled up to the african basketball player. I think she was holding his hand to reassure him. ya know, she seems like a nice, thoughtful lady who has done absolutely nothing to curb the idiocy of her husband. that's a bummer. I wonder if she's studied much about Ava Braun? eh, that's probably going too far. Bush isn't Hitler. He's more like a bumbling anti-christ wannabe. If anyone could inadvertantly bring about the apocalypse, it's him.
