Poll question: Place yer bush-bets here!
Tomorrow bush will give a "substantive speech" (laf). How many times do ya bet he'll use the words "terror", "terrorist(s)" and/or "freedoms"?

A better poll would be: how many times will he use a word that is not rooted in "terror" or "freedom"?

3. Or, how long it took someone to explain to him
that substantive is a good thing, not below stantive. :)

5. During the SOTU where he lied about yellow cake, he said
"terror" something like 27 times in 18 minutes. We need to know how long the speech will be, to calibrate. They're going to try to challenge the public to wait it out. And, they're going to be vastly disappointed.

6. They've worked hard to program the public to be impatient
Instant gratification, no personal sacrifice, short attention spans. It's going to start backfiring on them.

the words "terra", "terraists" and/or "freedoms" will be used a total of 58 times during his speech. That's my answer and I'm sticking to it!

12. Don't forget "hard work", "tough" and "steadfast and/or resolute" nt
Because, you know. Sending other people's kids to die for a few extra million bucks in your pocket is tough and hard work.

Jethroes of the Insurgency. :D

He'll pick up the slack with the "shake our will" meme which he used sucessfully about 7 times in the last speech in about 2 minutes. That was a timing record, I think.

16. Is that the new updated 2005 version of 'Stay the course'?
They have so many memes its ridiculous. Wish I had the link of Bush telling reporters he repeats words often so that 'the propaganda sinks in'.
