PREACH IT.

From Crooks and Liars, John Harwood lets one slip on MSNBC and tells the truth about these people fear mongering over the President speaking to school children next week.:

Novotny: John, what about this controversy over opposition to Obama's speech to school children?

Harwood: I've got to tell you Monica, I've been watching politics for a long time and this is, this one is really over the top. What it shows you is there are a lot of cynical people who try to fan controversy and let's face it, in a country of three hundred million people there are a lot of stupid people too, because if you believe that's it's somehow unhealthy for kids for the President to say work hard and stay in school, you're stupid.

Novotny: Ouch.

Harwood: In fact, I'm worried for some of those kids, I'm worried for some of those kids of those parents who are upset. I'm not sure they're smart enough to raise those kids.

My goal on Heroine Addiction today is 66k. Actually a little more, truth be told -- I've got to chauffeur my mom's cats back and forth from the vet tomorrow and I'm pretty sure I'll be away from the computer most of the day.

I'm really rather desperate for the season premiere of SPN.

IT'S THE BIGGEST "SAVING PEOPLE, HUNTING THINGS" OF ALL, BB. BRING IT. AW, YEAH.

Aw, man, that hurts to watch.

Hot German boys ... still adorable.

Three things:

1. That was a lovely wedding and I very much like the dress.
2. I heard the Miami Vice theme song in my head over those last few seconds.
3. Oh, Constantin, what is that THING on your head?

"America's Got Talent"

Whoever said Drew Stevyns looks like Jensen ... yeah, thanks, now I can't get that out of my head. God, that man is pretty.

EDIT: My comments ...

Recycled Percussion: Reliably awesome. Their show is total Vegas.

Lawrence Beaman: ... did he just admit to leaving a cult? 'Cause that's an entirely new level of anecdote. That said, GUH.

Erik and Rickie: I feel like they're setting them up for disappointment sending them through the competition like this, because they're adorable and they dance well, but they can't carry a Vegas show. They do really well, just ... no.

Jeffrey Ou: I find him so damn cute. And I really liked that, and the lighting system was a nice touch. I don't know what the hell is up with Piers tonight.

Haito Torres: That was amazing. You wouldn't even know his back's screwed up.

Eriam Sisters: Excellent song choice. They sounded great and they listened to the judges.

Mario and Jenny: I like them, damn it. Even if there was no illusion this time, we know they can do that. And tonight they proved that can do everything else but sing.

Drew Stevyns: God, that man is yummy. I have the urge to mute my TV, but PRETTY. And I love that Sharon's critique underneath it all seems to be PRETTY! also.

FootworKINGz: Dork points for an act to the Power Rangers theme song, all points lost for the performance being lame.

Barbara Padilla: I'm glad that she's closing out the show. She's a showstopper EVERY DAMN TIME. God, now all I want to do is listen to opera.

After that if I had to guess? Barbara Padilla (definitely), Recycled Percussion, Lawrence Beaman, EriAm Sisters, and Haito Torres. I want Mario and Jenny, too, but I'm not holding my breath if only because they didn't do any illusions tonight.

This is goddamn amazing.

This is the contestant I'm rooting for the hardest.
