If I watch American Idol tonight, isn't that personal punishment enough?

If you force yourself to sit through American Idol, you get a pass for the SotU, right? Otherwise I think my barf-o-meter will hit overload.

1. I think American Idol will be.....

pre-empted for American Idiot. No way Fox will not cover the SOTU.

2. You get a pass on the SOTU

If you'd rather stick hot needles in your eyes than watch that puffed up nitwit bragging about what a strong WAH president he is and accusing you of having too much health insurance after you've been on the phone all day trying to get the bastards to OK an ER visit for a kid who is too sick to cry any more.

You get a pass on the SOTU if you have any sensitivity to bullshit. You get a pass on the SOTU if you have hair to wash, socks to darn, or paint to watch dry.

There's no need to replace it with bad TV, either.
