What humors me is that the spotlight has been taken entirely off of the POTUS’s SOTU tonite by the surrounding of the LAPD Cop murderer Dorner, out in CA. The leadup to the speech is virtually nonexistant on the TV channels, that are all fixated on the police standoff in the mountains outside of LA. After the POTUS’s speech is over, anyone who is watching will immediately switch back to the standoff, and the cable channels will be focused on this, not the POTUS’s speech. Why watch a dull speech when there is an exciting showdown going on out West?
Plus, on another front, there is the fact that Hugo Chavez is on his way out and could die any minute. So delighted Obama’s moment of glory is being obliterated by other news. The only thing I am not delighted about, in fact feel awful about, is the fact that another LAPD officer died in the shootout today with Dorner up in the woods. Hope the other officer that was shot too is okay. Haven’t heard anything yet about his status yet. This Dorner is a one man destruction machine. Just heard a tactical operation is now underway and that teargas has been fired. Back to the TV.

Seriously—this reminds me of the episode of Friends where Monica and Chandler go away for the weekend—and he and the bellboy are transfixed by the high speed car chase. LOL. :)
