Obama takes a victory lap post-SOTU 2012.

Did you watch the State of the Union Address last night?  If you’re anything like me, you didn’t.  After all, Obama’s made this kind of speech on a regular basis since he got elected, and most people hate it when their television schedule gets upset by a stupid political thing, so like a lot of Americans I didn’t bother watching.  Thankfully, we don’t have to watch, because CBS News has pulled 10 highlights from 2012’s State of the Union Address.

This way, you can get the high points without having to do any thinking for yourself; it’s perfect!

At one point, I would have watched the whole thing and even paid attention during it, but these days?  Meh.  I’m tired of politics, I’m tired of primaries, and I’m tired of people repeating speeches over and over when they know they can’t actually change anything or make any of the promised improvements actually happen without a ton of dumb luck on their side.

So, unless President Obama breaks the seal on his podium or something, I’m not going to bother with paying attention.  I’ll just read the highlights.  Or just read Highlights for Children.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
