And thank you for the shout. However, please let me enunciate my position a little further. 1. I did not think there were good parts, nor did I say there were bad parts. Actually it was surprisingly lackluster and unsurprisingly vague. 2. As a political scientist (I prefer politologist), I nerd-out on a lot of the micropolitics of speech and body language. In other words, though I may have major ideological differences, I still like to watch the thing. 3. I liked being able to fast-forward through the BS pomp-and-circumstance gladhanding and thunderous applause as the President made his way into the chamber (b/c he doesn't deserve it). 4.
