Indiana governor skips State of the Union to watch Purdue-OSU game
A. Isaac 
I prefer honesty from my politicians. A trait not many of them seem to have or at the very least, seem to exhibit at any time while they are in office. So, a hearty round of applause for Indiana governor Mitch Daniels who admitted to a reporter that he watched the Purdue-OSU game over that boring State of the Union address.
“You caught me. I didn’t watch it. I was watching the Purdue game as long as it was watchable,” Daniels said, when asked what he thought of the State of the Union. “Honestly, I’ve read the accounts. I’ve got the text of the speech and I’ll be reading it between now and the next stop. I think I’ll just say that I’m very hopeful that we are going to see changes in national policy.”
The State of Union runs about two hours long or so and more than half that time is spent waiting for applause to die down after every. Frankly, I don’t even think the damn thing should be televised anymore. Just give us the transcript or the edited version sans the applause and save me an hour of my life. I can do without seeing old, middle-aged a$$holes laughing at jokes that aren’t funny and otherwise spending an exorbitant amount of my tax dollars on cheap suits.
