Synchronize Your Watches

Just got the heads-up from Aaron Hanscom, our managing editor… so, yes, I’m scheduled to drunkblog the President’s address to the nation Tuesday night.
It’ll be so refreshing, finally finding Obama on the TV again, that I might not even need to drink that much.
Crap! Why does he hafta be talking all the time? He’s not up there with Clinton for all-time gas-bagging, but the MSM just won’t let a breath go by without Obama-mantra in it.
Sorry you have such a nasty task awaiting you. As ever, you are to be commended for taking it for the team. I never watch, I just read your drunk-blogging.
Don’t fib, Stephen. I wager you’ll be a gibbering mass of inebriated angst within the first ten minutes. Maybe that’s too generous of me, it’s been a while since I’ve sat through one of these things, too.
Perfect symmetry for my day. Scheduled for an endoscope in the morning, then with Dear Liar, getting something in the other end in the evening.
I’ll bet about 20 minutes in you’ll hear so many stupid things you’ll want to drink twice as much, to keep your head from exploding.
Oh, look, J Foster said 10. He’s not as optimistic as I am.
Poor rbj, he’s getting it coming and going. {/snerk}
Tuesday he will tell us how brilliantly he’s managing the oil gush crisis in the Gulf of Mexico. And it is Bush’s fault – and Repubs in Congress – that things haven’t moved faster.
Wednesday he’ll meet with BP exec’s and tell them how much he expects them to put into escrow for Gulf residents.
Thursday BP declares bankruptcy.
Friday afternoon we hear from Gibbs that taxpayers are picking up the tab to pay Gulf Coast residents for job losses, property damage and clean up costs.
For periodic libations I recommend this old standby now recently made legal in NY State.

Unfortunately, here in MA we still need to trek down to RI to get it. Oh well…
If he tries to equate this spill with 9/11 like the trial balloons are indicating, I will vomit instantaneously.
No excessive consumption required.
And as a nondrinker, I thank you for your work on our behalf…….”the voice” is not allowed to sully the atmosphere in our home (which has caused some occasional near-serious-falls as one or the other of us LUNGE for the remote when we sense his figure showing up….)I was going to try….I don’t know. Glad to know I can count on you. Thanks.
