The State of the Union.
So, I am by no means politically savvy. In fact, you could say I'm the opposite. But I watched the State of the Union last night, and it really was absorbing and fascinating. Not just for what the President did (and didn't) say or how he said it, but also for all the comments (and even mid-speech tweets) and speeches before, during, and afterwards. Technology really has changed the nature of the public discourse and enabled everyone to participate, which I think is both annoying and awesome.
favorite quote:
Every day, families sacrifice to live within their means. They deserve a government that does the same.
That's a great quote. We missed the speech because 8 PM Central Time, esp. with saints over to dinner, is not at all convenient for us. Thanks for summing up the highlights! :-)
