Which raises the question of what to do? Well, there's always NetFlix, of course, as well as good old TiVo. It's also a good night to go to the movies and while Brokeback Mountain is all too obvious of a choice, not to mention something we've all seen by now, we'd like to suggest the Underworld: Evolution as there's something appropriate about watching a blood-drenched movie featuring both Vampires, Werewolves and Kate Beckinsale in a black leather outfit. Ba Bow!
For those braving the S.O.S., there's always the ever popular drinking games out there. Our favorite is the one proposed on the Huffington Post about taking bets on how long it will be before W. refers to 9/11. You could also make do and watch these parodies flying around the internets out there. Check out the one of Dick Cheney channeling Scarface. And for those who like their political commentary straight and snarky, La Wonkette will re-surface from her book tour and live blog the thing. Oh, Ana Marie, how can you forsake us?
Then for those who are into paper mache puppets, chanting slogans, and the delusion that doing both with members of the Vegan Anarcho-Collective for Mumia will somehow shake the Government's black heart so thoroughly that they quickly impeach Bush and Cheney and replace them with Ralph Nader and Noam Chomsky, there is the World Can't Wait rally at Union Square. Come early and volunteer for a team (man, do we hate when we get picked last for those teams). Stay late and at 7, they will topple a 30-foot paper mache statue of the President. That would be done by the "30 foot, Topple the Statue of Bush Construction Team."
Us? We're getting drunk. Very, very drunk.
