If you played the SOTU drinking game you'd still be passed out

You know those drinking games people play where everytime someone says a certain word (like Spock says "fascinating") everyone takes a drink?  Well, I'm wondering if anyone out there who played the SOTU drinking game has become concious again.

Afterall, everytime Bush lies he has this little tic where he flicks his tongue between his lips and he did that 124 times during the SOTU.

Or how about every time he referred to some utterly sinister program by dressing it up casually as if it were doing Americans a service, not violating the Constitution?

Case in point:  Bush casually let slip that he would "give employers the tools to verify the legal status of their workers."

Ahhh, take a drink!

What that really means is he wants to create a federal citizen profile database.  What he really means is that private enterprises will be tracking every American citizen to keep tabs on his 'status' for the Department of Homeland Security. (By the way, if you're STILL playing the drinking game, TAKE A DRINK, because Homeland Security is what the name of Hitlers gestapo meant.) Then they tie the database into HAVA and use that to create a citizenship database.  THEN, they purge innocent voters off of the vote lists.  Funny how that works huh?

And then he wanted to double the oil reserve.

Take a drink.

Instead of releasing reserves to counter the rise of the cost of oil, he wants to INCREASE it.  In other words, he not only wants to drive up the price of oil further, but he wants our taxpayer money to be spent buying oil at all time highs.  I bet you could use a drink right about now.

And then he says he has a health insurance plan that is "revenue neutral".

Yep, take a drink.

This means he's going to invest NOTHING into it.  Compared to the billions he's willing to spend to buy oil for the reserve for a rainy day when the price of oil...

Oh hell, take TWO drinks.
