Unfortunately, the Prez has very stiff competition with Leverage on, for me.
Travers: Perhaps you'll favor us with a demonstration while we're here. Buffy: You mean, like, right now? 'Cause, already had my recommended daily dose of fights tonight.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I'm taping the Prez and watching Leverage.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I decided the real world was too much for me tonight.

Hey, how come on Leverage's Mile High none of the passengers put on their oxygen masks? They were all just sitting there screaming, with the little dangly cups all waving around in their faces.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
I hope I'm not understanding correctly. Because it sure sounded like the Prez was advocating privatizing social security.

I just tuned in to Congress standing for the banker who shared his profits with current and former employees and a teacher from South Carolina who wrote the White House (and poor thing looks so nervous even as Michelle tries to reassure her.)

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
even as Michelle tries to reassure her.)
After these speeches, I'm ready for the Obamas to adopt me. They both come across as so parental.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Because then they wouldn't be able to scream, Liese. And that was obviously very important to do at the time.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I thought Obama said she was a student at the school.
I caught the second half of the speech. No thoughts about specifics, but my overall feeling is positive. While I'm sure Obama will make his mistakes dealing with everything we have going against us right now, I'm willing to trust he has good, well thought-out reasons behind his decisions, good and bad, which is a welcome change from the last 8 years.
ETA: I have zero interest in watching the Jindal response. I have a feeling it's going to yet another re-hash of the "Deficit! Deficit! Deficit! Pork! Pork! Pork!" yammering we've been getting out of the GOP for the last month. (As a side note, I got a bitter laugh out of Obama mentioning in his speech that he inherited a trillion dollar deficit, which lead to all the Dems jumping up to applaud and all the Republicans sitting on their hands.)

Okay, I totally love that $24 million dollar chair. I don't $24 million love it, but I do love it.
I wish y'all got Project Runway Canada because the ending was totally WTF!! and I have no one to rant about it to. This one chick made the ugliest dress to ever be made and didn't get eliminated. She's been a total bitch, so I suspect they kept her around for drama.
