The (eigen)State of the Union

Me: I didn't watch it; I can't stand listening to that guy anymore.
Friend: That's understandable.
Me: So, what is it?
Friend: What?
Me: What is the current State of the Union?
Friend: Oh, good, good. Everything is good.
Me: Economy?
Friend: Rising.
Me: Terrorists?
Friend: Hiding and on the run...
Me: Faster than we can bomb them.
Friend: ... and whenever they stop to catch their breath from running so much, they tape themselves, and send us messages.
Me: That is very considerate on their part. What is the state of freedom?
Friend: Oh, freedom is doing great, way better than liberty.
Me: Of course.
Friend: And we are spreading it.
Me: That is great news. What about science?
Friend: Oh, it will be better than ever. Our Science President promised more money for it in the next 10 years.
Me: What about his ideas about going back to the Moon and Mars that he talked about before the elections? Has he backed those up yet?
Friend: He forgot to talk about it.
Me: And to give any money for it.
Friend: Of course.
Me: He might not be the Science President in my mind, but he will always be it in my heart.

¿Cómo pueden invertir el tiempo viendo y peor aún oyendo al Moron Number One"? Ni pa' ciencia ni pa' na. Digo, pa' guerra y su ciencia, eso sí. Y hay quien no distingue.

Hay gente que hizo un "drinking game" de todo el evento.

Yo, por mi parte, opte por no beber ni ver a Arbustito.
