    Yawn.

    I think the guy likes to hear himself talk. He's made these speeches into an hour and a half type deals.

    Just an observation, and this is not a swipe at the man... I honestly don't remember him making a "memorable" speech. "No new taxes" was memorable. "Shining city on a hill" was memorable. "We have nothing to offer but fear itself" was memorable.

    Etc.

    Every State of the Union speech by every president is the same - "energy independence!" "the state of the union is strong" blah blah blah.

    Four score and seven years ago was memorable. We hold these truths was memorable. The only good Injun is a dead Injun was memorable.

    State of the Union Seating Planners Troll Ted Nugent, Put Him Next to Gay Civil Rights Activist from Portland

    After all that brouhaha over Ted Nugent — you know, the guy who threatened to kill President Obama — getting invited to the State of the Union by Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX), the hard-talking, pants-shitting rocker was seldom seen throughout the evening.

    But the one photo of Nugent that did make the rounds was publicized not from Stockman's camp, but rather from that of Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), the congressman who invited Nugent's seatmate — Portland musician Thomas Lauderdale.

    Lauderdale, best known for founding the "little orchestra" known as Pink Martini, is the anti-Ted Nugent: A liberal, Occupy-Movement-supporting, openly gay civil rights activist who favors gun control and loves classical music.

    LOL.

    If you favor gutting the Second Amendment you are neither liberal nor a civil-rights activist.

    They were talking about the water bottle thing on sports radio (SPORTS RADIO!@!) in Seattle today. Was it really that noteworthy? I missed the whole shebang, sitting watching my son's swim lesson. That seems to be the only thing worth trying to catch lol

    Yeah that happened here too.

    Sports radio just repeats whatever the MSM says. The media blows.
