#1 Actually, I like the concept! Can we make it two or three dozen chairs instead? Last man standing gets the magnum of Chateau Margaux.

#2 I have a few candles left from Christmas, I suspect Many of you do as well. We could get the old gang together and gather at the ~~New Olde Tavern~~ old barn, and have a Virgil.

#4 I, for one, am glad the WaPo explained it for me. If I were to watch the speech, I might have assumed no one wanted to sit next to the scowling FLOTUS.

#8 It's sad that he can't find anyone willing to sit next to Michelle Obama.

#9 One of the things I like is that Paul Ryan has invited two nuns from the Little Sisters of the Poor to sit in the Speaker's box.

I really doubt that Obama will acknowledge them.

#10 The shadow had entered unheeded;
No face, no identity -- sheeted!
Not scary black rifles
But angry black trifles
Invited the spook to be seated.
