What Flavor Popcorn?

     The State of the Union speech is coming up, and not only do they cram the Senate into the House chamber (where you know the Senators check for gum stuck under the desks) along with its usual denizens (and they don't even get assigned seats), Cabinet members sit in the front row, alongside the Justices of the U. S. Supreme Court.  The President is currently furious at six of the nine Justices, and won't that make for an interesting evening?  The Joint Chiefs are in there, too, along with retired members of Congress.

     Looking it up, one of the news services points out that the President and First Lady also invite non-politicians to seats in the gallery, "to help put a human face to the President’s message for both policymakers and viewers at home." I'm not sure just what they think the various pols, judges and military officers are -- has anyone checked on David Icke recently?

     Me, I figure they're all entirely too human, even the ones I loathe most, and given the line-up and the times, my only real question is, what flavor popcorn should I make for watching it?  Hi-yo, Incitatus, away!
