State of the Union

Tonight president Obama will tell us the condition this country is in. Some will laud his words, some will protest. Some people will see the glass full, some will see it totally empty. Those like me will listen with eyes agape and wonder what is the state of the union and can you really put it in words. The talking media will bombard us before and after the president’s address and they will leave us in a state of total confusion. Then we will gather ourselves and proceed as always. Our reality will remain the same, our tasks will remain constant and after the fog clears we will realize that each of us as one and collectively must tackle the most pressing need of our country. Yes, there is no way around it, we must figure out who will win the super bowl. Is the faux velveeta shortage a hoax or is it real. Nachos, beer, what else is on the menu. Why is the game on Sunday, don’t they know we can’t all take a sick day. Are there any more pearls of wisdom emanating from the oracle, better known as Richard Sherman. Mr. President hurry with your speech, you do realize you’re making us miss the reporting from the super bowl press. I wonder Mr. President will you opine on the new pro bowl format or is it as doomed as the middle east peace talks. They’re talking about eliminating the extra point kick, this certainly ranks up there with stopping Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Hey Mr. President I was wrong, there are plenty of things you can talk about in your state of the union speech. Just remember this is super bowl week and you’ll do fine. Oh by the way, what nut decided to play the super bowl in a cold climate? Don’t they know that the super bowl is a football event and not a football game. Who cares that football fans are not repulsed by the outcome of the event being affected by weather true super bowl fans don’t want their office pool ruined because something happened because of the weather. Oh yes the state of the union, don’t be dismayed that this is super bowl week Mr. President, we think your speech is important too.
