Informed Consent

I'm skipping the State of the Union address tonight and watching the first season of Friday Night Lights instead. One night a year, they interrupt TV and for years now, I've watched the president speak because I felt that I ought to, as an informed citizen and someone who wanted to keep up appearances of being relatively smart. Well, I'm not letting them get in the way of my TV tonight. And I figure the Times and NPR will tell me how I should think tomorrow morning, so why bother sitting through all that clapping.

Don't make me feel guilty about this now.
