: : ok...maybe i'm a big dumbass. i didn't really want to give a good crap over his 'state of the union address,'
: : There was just one thing i did not understand.....why after he said something that had meaning (or not--depends on how you see it)....
: : almost everyone would stand up and clap (sometimes cheer, and i could have sworn i heard an Arsenio Hall like 'whoop' at one point)....
: : granted, the man said some pretty words, but couldn't we have waited till the very end to do all that bullshit clapping/cheering/whooping/(puking)??
: -Only terrorists wait to clap! Geesh, what are iraqi or something?
: : it was just weird. and then when they panned the audience while they were clapping, i noticed some of them stayed seated. why? did they not like something in particular the pres said, or just didn't feel like hopping up and down like a grown-up game of twillight zone inspired simon says???
: -Some did it because they were democrats, but most jsut about all of them stood up at one point or another, except for the service people, I think they were at attention or something. One navy guy did sort of nod his head robotically at some points.
: : ugh. and people wonder why i don't like to discuss politics.....
: -Yeah, sucks most of the time.
: : i need to go lay in the fetal position in the shower and cry.....
: -That's a good place for it. Also try underneath your bed, that's great too.
: : or just take another hit.
: -mos def.
