I think you're overlooking a potentially profitable situation here, shrift. There could be quite the market for t-shirts, mugs, wristbands, etc that say "blame shrift."
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

To do list:
1) Go spend too much money to Best Buy.
2) Charge iPod.
3) Stay away from all televisions during SotU to avoid severe property damage.
4) Develop persecution complex.

Let me sum up the SotU so you don't have to watch it.
Economy is great
Gotta have that post-9/11 mindset
We've won in Iraq, freedom is marching right now, it's just hard to tell
We're gonna fix healthcare by tweaking the existing system just a little
It would be cool to not be dependent on oil, but we're not really serious about it

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Gud, you forgot about how we're fighting a secret enemy that lurks.

Plus a few veiled references to overturning Roe v. Wade and the coming Rapture.
