It will be refreshing to actually watch a Presidential speech on TV

tonight and not throw shit at my TeeVee.

Happy happy joy joy.

1. Wow I'm actually looking forward to seeing

Our president!
Not dreading the international laughing-stock we used to have to endure!

2. And not hear things like coded messages "human animal hybrids"

for instance.

3. Decoding ones own language was discouraging

I couldn't bear to watch anymore a third of the way into his first term: EVERYTHING was coded for "the base" in the meanest most selfish way possible "Here I'll just say it: if you're not white or conservative you are screwed. If you ARE white and conservative and not >250k rich you're screwed. Now go out and play."

I like "listening up" to those I perceive as brighter than me. I despise being talked down to by a snake oil salesman.

What a treat to not have to bail to DVD on State of the Onion night

4. The viewership tonight will be breathtaking, and the pundits will spin like tops

but we know what Obama will be trying to say.
