I thought it was a little silly of President Obama to schedule his State of the Union speech during Mardi Gras. He could have broke away from tradition and presented a week later than usual.
So I posted a series of tweets last night for a State of the Union drinking game that might appeal to folks who are partying in N’awlins. Twitter may not have been impressed with them, but I’m proud of them. Thus, I share them with you here.
Enjoy.
