Let's get in Hank Scorpio and the Globex Corporation.

He's an evil genius, but an ideal boss.

If someone out there perfects, say, a photosynthetic way to split water (as evolution has handily given plants the ability to do) then it's a whole new world. 

The chinese just released a prototype car that uses solar, as well as wind generated electricity, and is bragging that it even has some sort of artificial photosynthesis included that generates a bit of electricity as well, from carbon dioxide.

You find a way to use water as a fuel and it puts the Middle East and a lot of oil rich Western businessmen out of business.

Interesting to see how the world goes from there if that happens.

Lucky for me, CNN was able to explain to me why I didn't care for the President's Oval Offfice speech; he's just too smart for me, and I didn't understand it.

That's not at all what that said. Unless you only read below a 9.8 grade level.

You guys are funny, and as a non-partial observer, I totally appreciate the wit.

But on a non-reactionary level, do you honestly not see this for exactly what it is: a deliberate defense of a failed speech; for the express purpose of defending a president with plummeting aproval numbers; for the express purpose of defending the ideology for which the man stands.

It's no coincedence that the article focused on the line that made Chris Mathews want to "Barf".  It's obvious that CNN found the story not in the speech it self, but rather in the reaction to the speech, and it unsettled them.  This article is indicative of the same indignation the President revealed when he suggested that the tea party people should be thanking him.

Question: Given that the President was magnificent, why did people not react positively to his speech.

Answer: They must not have understood it.

It's bad journalism.

Who then? Chris Matthews? Well, but wait, we can't take him
seriously, can we? He's been the laughin stock of the right wing
media since his leg-tingle comment. Yet now he's taken seriously?
(Welcomed back to the arms of his masters, where he sat, rah-rahing
Bush and the war on his joke of a show, nicknamed "softball" by KGO
host Bernie Ward). So now he's suddenly not a joke but a serious
voice to be taken seriously?

Que cajones, hombres! The ability to talk so freely out of both sides
of the mouth while retaining a position of moral superiority is a
brass-balls level of macho. I bow to your superior bullshitting and
propagandizing, sirrahs!
