The State of the What?
See, good ol' GWB is going to talk about science and politics. Now I have to watch. And I might even have to leave the sound on.You'd better believe that I'm using this post from Wonkette as a buffer for my poor, overworked liberal indignation. Otherwise we're going to need a new tv by the end of the night.

Don't know what you're up to, E but we have a paper due tomorrow. That being the case, Anomie and I spent the evening quaffing alcohol (me in large quantities, Anomie in manageable ones, as usual) and playing various, rapidly-changing drinking games during SOTU.
Btw, is pink the new "in" colour for females now? Also, the President seemed to wink at someone during one of his comments (I think it was when he was talking about a soldier's death in Iraq. Remarks about appropriateness or otherwise can be debated later). Was that a wink or a twitch?
He normally twitches...have you ever noticed that he sometimes bobs his head back and forth as if he were a chicken?
Yeah, about that paper. *So* not going to be done today. Definitely by Friday, though.
I missed the drinking? Why do I always miss the fun stuff? We didn't end up watching it--I read the transcript instead (and was disturbed by how closely it matched the speech given out before the SOTU), so I avoided any possible thoughts of chickens and twitches.
E, S and anyone else reading our bloody blog: drinking on Friday, wherever yous want. I have a meeting with one of my committee people and will be up for discussing God (so, yes, IntLaw, if you lurk about in the comments section, you'd better show up)
I vote for Jed's. But then, I alwaqys vote for Jed's. We should have elected Jed's the President.
Right, back to the grind. Or something.
(Which committee member is it? A fun one?)
Newest committee member, who invited me to lunch today, which I was too scared to eat, since the other lunch people were professors and you know how I am about interacting with them.
Spent the entire lunch discussing football and cricket and the many ways of getting into and out of Burma. Also, how to make a new capital city if you don't like the old one.
Well, that sounds...interesting. Not really, but I feel like I should say something other than "hey, you sound like you need a drink."
