| | I didn't say thatJanuary 6, 2012 - Shawn PaulusYeah, it’s me and you are still entitled to my opinion. I was listening to the State of the State address online Wednesday night, which is the best way to do this so you can avoid all the applause with a simple move of the mouse.

If anyone wants a successful career as an overpaid pol who receives an unconscionable pension (which BTW, has become the norm for any well-paid public servant), it is strongly recommended you learn BS, oops, I mean PS. It'll teach you how to smile, how to dress, what to say, what not to say, etc. It will also discuss topics like economic theories, ideologies, philosophies, etc. Only in America can you take a course to learn how to deceive the public in order to stay in office and/or attain selfish goals as a career politician.
