I'll be working evening shift so I won't see any of it until I get home.
So here's the list I hope to hear about later.
1) "The state of our union is ROBUST." I am sick and tired of hearing 'strong'. IT'S CALLED A THESAURUS PEOPLE, THEY HAVE THEM ONLINE NOW.
2) "Thanks to massive gerrymandering in Republican-controlled states and pitiful voter turnout efforts by Democrats that turned into a turnoff, a meager 36 percent of voters this past November put a bunch of batsh-t crazy politicians in charge of Congress. Yeah, I went there. Now I gotta manage the crazy 24-7 until 2017. Like I said, thanks."
3) "I will not make any deals on Social Security or Medicare. You are not going after our social safety nets that do work, that just needs minor and yes I mean minor reforms to make them solvent. Just don't even try cutting Social Security benefits, Congress. I will make you eat your own serving if you bring that sh-t to my house."
4) "I will insist on a budget where the nation's entire tax burden will be placed on Grover Norquist. I'm gonna drown YOU, buddy."
5) "We as a nation thrive on immigration. It's how we went from some rustic backwater of the 19th Century into a major superpower by the 20th Century. It's how we keep ourselves innovative and refreshed with talent and drive. For us to turn our backs on millions of hard-working, intelligent young adults that can become part of this great nation through the DREAM reform efforts is not only offensive, it is short-sighted and harmful. We are going to reform our immigration policies to make it easier to keep families together, to make it easier for our workforce to stay strong."
6) "We need to do something about reducing college costs. This is why I'm pushing for local, community college programs to be free to millions of American families. We need to do more to stop the growing amount of financial debt that millions of families are incurring in order to have their own children achieve success. What good will all that effort be if entire communities go bankrupt, killing all hope for that success?"
7) "If Congress passes one more self-serving pay raise while doing nothing about the wages of all other workers, I swear to God I will personally bitch-slap each and every one of you. You're already earning six-figure salaries with this job, that's more than what 95 percent of our nation's workers ever see."
8) "Seriously Hollywood, you pat yourselves on the back for awarding a hokey, poorly-scripted movie on race like Crash and yet you snub the hell out of a historic, well-acted and genuinely impactful film like Selma? I was already upset with your Oscars voters for how they snubbed TRON for Best Visual Effects - TWICE - but now this sh-t..."
9) "We are this close to letting Disney take over Cuba as the first nation-sized Epcot Center. Don't ruin the deal, Congress, just let me handle it..."
10) "The real reason this nation's future this year is so incredible, why we've got a good year ahead of us? Because Age of Ultron AND Episode VII are coming out this year! YES DAMMIT IT IS GOOD TO BE A GEEK IN THE USA! GOD BLESS US! LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!"
