Everyone’s tuning in right now to see what kind of insightful, civil, moderate things we will say about tonight’s SOTU. So I thought I’d take this opportunity to pimp our store a little bit. The New York Times says coasters are the new throw rugs, so why not pick up one of these bad boys?
We’ve got other stuff too and as far as I know, it’s all for a good cause.
Also too: last time something like a SOTU happened, all the exciting winger action was on twitter, not on the blogs. What teatard types should I be following on twitter?
Update. Here’s the text of SOTU. It’s not searchable but if you scroll down and scan, you should be able to find the phrase “man animal hybrids”.

Forget the Twitter. Bachmann’s response could cause mass fatal attraction.

For the most amusing twitter feed, I’d go with Breitbart.

Jesus, I need a drink.
Just finished teaching Titus Andronicus, which seems like light fare compared to having to watch all the asshats at the speech and then Ryan then the MN Whacklady.

I finally ordered the calendar. Although my mutt is not pictured because she is camera shy, I didn’t want to miss out on having a calendar with all the other b.j. pets. I have two of Lily’s coasters and they are quite special.
BTW…what’s a bleg?

@JPL: It’s like a meh
Jim, Foolish Literalist
how masochistic are you feeling? Dennis Miller has a twitter page.

DougJ, you might be interested in this.

ZOMG you totally do not want to do that. Save yourself a headache and follow @MoronWatch who follows the TeaTards for you and Retweets the most hilarious ones….

@JPL: Bleg–portmanteau of Blog and beg.
To beg for something in a blog post.
Speaking of blegging and fund raising, any comments from the rest here on my suggestion that those actually interested in helping Bradley Manning do a fund raiser here like BJ has done for so many politicians and causes, and donate the money to Manning’s defense, instead of sitting around and bitching about Jane Norquist Hamsher?

@stuckinred: Does that mean I can start my drinking game early?

@srv:
Your link is really interesting .. the poster “Prosperity At Home, Prestige Abroad” struck me because with the modern day Teanuts, “prestige abroad” is suddenly a dirty word. Elitist and all that. Real Americans don’t give a crap what those cheese-eaters in Yurp think!
Only a matter of time before they turn “prosperity at home” into a dirty hippie concept, too.
Davis X. Machina
@Southern Beale: They don’t care about Yurp only because while it’s too big and powerful to be meaningfully bombable, it’s also uninterested interested in bombing us, and hence becoming a bogeyman.
Non-US states must be either targets, or Manichaean enemies.
There is no place in their category-poor schema of the world for such a non-target, non-nemesis, so it must be ignored.
That plus the fact that its existence, never mind its comparative success, in all its social-democratic glory, is problematic.
Yurp cannot exist, ergo it does not exist — and their women don’t shave.

Where’s the pic of my ant farm? Huh?

I inked to it yesterday.

More of an ant plantation.

Chris Matthews said on MSNBC before the last commerical break, that “there will be” a special comment from the President on gun control.
The WH did not want to have the SOTU overshadowed by the gun control debate.
Omnes Omnibus
@Davis X. Machina:
This is patently untrue.
Davis X. Machina
@Omnes Omnibus: Sure. You’ll be telling me next that they bathe regularly, private automobiles are common, and have their own telephones, in their houses.
You’re not catching me that easy….
Omnes Omnibus
@Davis X. Machina: Not only that, but most have phones they carry in their pockets and many of the women shave more than American women (if you know what I mean*).
(*) Or so I have been informed.

@jeffreyw: Well, you take better pics than I do. So I guess Cole chose your ant ‘plantation’ for the calendar. But I am crushed.

@DougJ DougJson: I should read you more often

@jl: Oh, those aren’t my pet ants! My pet plantation ants I keep in tar paper shacks, as is fitting.

Sounds like a terrific idea to me.
