bush SOTU STUNNER question

[radfringe]

the year before our eyes popped when we heard bush actually admit we were addicted to oil

last year our jaws dropped when we learned of the danger of man-animal hybrids

SOOOOOO - what box-of-rocks concept/idea/proposal will bush put forth this year?

-- human-vegetable cloning must be outlawed so people in a vegetative state won't be mistakenly bathed in blue-cheese dressing

-- we're addicted to OXYGEN and this is harming our manufacturers

-- Hugo Chavez met with an al-qeada sympathizer and therefore we have to add Belgium to the Axis of Evil list (invasion date to be determined later)

or how about recycling one from a Reagan speech? The one where an alien race has attacked and we all unite as earthlings to fight them off

Coke and Pepsi are the same!

Frogs are all unitarians and therefore we must purge them from our world.

Avacodos are smooshy.

I don't know - could be anything really.

3. Freedom.

President Bush will sputter out the tired code words that used to inflate his base.

[lectrobyte]

4. I need to dig up the joke video of his speechwriter with the yellow sticky

pads. That's the only way I can explain some of the speeches he gives. Alien attacks? Purity of Essence? I can't think of anything that would surprise me. How's the manned mission to Mars progressing, wasn't that one of those off-the-wall things, too, one year?

5. He's going to propose a tax increase.

On health insurance. Repugs are gonna poop their pants.

6. The Biggest Stunner Never Comes From Him Though.

It comes from the speaker of the house, every time they introduce him as the President of the United States.

[hootinholler]

15. The Speaker does not introduce the President...

It's the Sgt at Arms, IIRC. But, you're close. Will he be announced to Mr. or Madame Speaker this year?

-Hoot

16. nuther question

who will get the loudest applause during the introduction?

Madame Speaker or bush?

7. A few options....

(read in halting B*sh style, gesturing with the back of your hand facing audience like you want to slap them):

"If, if tin whistles are, made of tin, what are fog horns made from?"
"Why do, why do people park on driveways and, and drive, on parkways?"
"How do you, solve a problem, a problem like Maria?"

9. The Scary Steroids Again!!!

Not the bad baseball players but SURFERS!!

SURFERS ON STEROIDS. Swim for your lives ( as the ocean levels rise due to bush's buddies' total disregard for envl laws)

These Terrorists Surfers Will Create Mushroom Clouds:

10. Bush signs Executive Order Allowing Him To Remain In Office As President During National Crisis....

This may seem virtually impossible given we are a country which is based on a Constitutional form of government. However, it could happen. In fact, it may have already happened --given the thousands of Executive Orders signed in secret which neither the Congress nor the American people are aware of.

One possible scenario: Bush orders attack on Iran and Syria, and Iran immediately retailiates by using terroristic attacks within our country. Bush announces a national crisis, declares martial law, and suspends all elections indefinitely --allegedly under the power granted him in the Constitution to act as Commander in Chief to protect the American people. His idea of unitary executive power is raised against any attempt by Congress or the SCOTUS to overrule him.

So all that would be needed is to have a string of terror attacks in the US over an extended period of time for Bush to keep martial law in place, and essentially stay in office as President past the expiration of this term in 2008.

[Frustratedlady]

14. That happens and I will personally frog march him....

I can just see the headlines, now!

Old Woman Grabs Prez By Collar - Frog March Ends His Term!

What a way to go!

(Just kidding, Agent Mike!)

[Blackhatjack]

17. This is a serious concern giving rise to a constitutional crisis ....

.... there are people in the military who have discussed just this scenario, and the katrina response in New Orleans raised these issues over who has ultimate authority in a time of 'national crisis.'

The use of Executive Orders signed in secret goes against a Constitutional form of government, yet there are thousands of them which have been signed which are allegedly in force today.

11. Bush was in control back then. Now, his power is eroding and he's desperate.

He will not reveal to us what his next desperate will be.

12. OOOh I bet he'll tell us Bruce Willis was actually a ghost in the Sixth Sense!

[burythehatchet]

13. America is addicted to Bad Girls Club and we're going to Pluto

[Imagevision]

20. Bush will go with global warming, healthcare, SS. and spend little time on Iraq

very little time on Iraq because it's continually getting worse and he has no answers except surge-surge and this approach has failed 4 times already, but he hasn't tried attacking Iran yet...
