In The Name Of The Father, And The Son, And The Holy Spirit, Amen

Was I the only one annoyed by the incessant standing ovations at President Obama's address to Congress?

I mean seriously. These people were up and down more often than a bunch of Catholics at Mass. Any minute I was expecting Nancy Pelosi to kneel down and worship.

That or pull out her pom poms.

Don't mind me. I get crabby when they pre-empt The Mentalist.

totally agree! Rob commented that Poor Old Joe Biden's knees were probably aching up, down, up, down. Once again, there was a lot of rhetoric, but I'm not hearing about much action!

On a side note, why did the First Lady get a standing ovation?

So true. I think his speach was just under 12 minutes had it not been for all the musical chairs.

I heard Rush Limbaugh got 18 standing O's. How many did Obama get?

On a side, Catholic note...John and I attended a Catholic wedding mass for my best friend. He joked that during our wedding only the Catholics would be required to kneel & stand, all other denominations would be encouraged to relax and stay seated. LOL

I have posted just for you L! But you might be sorry you asked. :-)

Martha, we Catholics feel all Protestants should sit and relax because it makes it easier for the lightning bolt to find you heathen sinners. ;-)
