My Catholic mother was SO pissed when I told her I'd had myself fixed.

But don’t you want the vivisection to go on after you?

Thank Sarah Hurwitz.....
The effectiveness of a speech depends as much on how it is delivered as on how it is written.

You can't polish a turd.
Sure you can. That’s why great actors can deliver great performances with mediocre scripts and why lousy actors can fuck up ‘Hamlet’.

So you are praising Mrs Obama's acting ability......
Think about that....
I have thought about it. ALL great speeches require acting on the part of the speaker. But that doesn’t mean the speaker isn’t taking the words and ideas seriously or doesn’t legitimately believe in them.
Michelle Obama is a very gifted public speaker. That’s what acting is all about.
