Normal people don't give a shit about the fucking speech date [View All]

In the real world, every time the President does the most minor thing people don't feel compelled to either hump his leg or stick pins in a voodoo doll of him. That shit only happens in punditland. And frankly that's what turns a lot of people off from politics. They already have their quota for bullshit filled in other aspects of their lives, so they don't need to hear some jackass putting a spin on every trifling matter in Washington.

It's a goddamn fucking speech date. And one that a large segment of this country is blissfully unaware of. So quit trying to claim that we saw 47-dimension chess from the President on this, or that today's actions would have shamed Neville Chamberlain. Leave the rhetorical circle-jerk to the dickwads on MSNBC. If it ever reaches the point where the talking heads are the only ones that care about stupid shit like this, then maybe they'll either shut the fuck up or actually try to do their jobs for a change.

Democracy cannot function effectively when political discourse is obsessively fixated on the inconsequential.
