Wring Out Your Liver!

Lots of folks have proposed drinking games associated with the State of the Union speech -- I'm not going to link to any of them here, you know where they are and how to find them -- but I find most of them too difficult to follow, especially after you've had a few. So I propose a Generik Brand State of the Union speech drinking game so simple a child could follow the rules.

Uhhh... that would be a child over 21, of course. The Generik Brand does not encourage underage drinking.

Anyway, here is the only rule you'll need to participate in this little exercise: Every time George W. Bush tells a discernible lie, take a drink. If you want to add corollaries like "take two if he mentions 9/11, or mispronounces 'terror' or 'nuclear'," that's fine, but the official TGB rules are just Dubya lies, you drink.

I expect that most people who try to participate in this game will be passed out dead drunk by the third paragraph. Which is ultimately a good thing, because it may prevent you from throwing something through your TV screen after listening to that miserable failure bumble his way through tonight's speech. At least, that's what I'm hoping will be the case here in my own home.
