I normally don’t have much to say about politics, and today is no different, but I did live-tweet tonight’s State of the Union address (or at least the parts of it for which citizentube’s stream didn’t stall out), so I thought I’d preserve those tweets here for the heck of it. Please to enjoy.

Tuned in just in time to hear “…the President of the United States!” Watching on citizentube. #sotu

Oooh, Supreme Court justices! *fangirl moment* #sotu

What, the little Obamas don’t get to come this year? J.Crew must be so disappointed. #sotu

Ahahahaha, Biden and Pelosi are all matchy-matchy with the lavender and white. Think they called each other last night? #sotu

Hey Nancy, what are you wearing tonight? Oh, probably my lavender suit, Joe, why? Uh, no reason. #sotu

Dude, Obama is live-tweeting his own State of the Union address. Like I always say, vote for the guy who knows magic. #sotu

Does the policewoman sitting next to Michelle Obama have a cane hanging on her wrist? #sotu

Citizentube’s broadcast keeps stopping and starting, sometimes cutting out altogether. Boo. #sotu

How come 5/10 trending topics worldwide are about the SOTU, but when I switch to US, the top 3 are itampon, ipad, and nowthatsghetto? #sotu

The Houston trending topics have no reference to the SOTU at all, even when I refresh the page. Really? #sotu #trendingtopics

Yeah, repeal don’t-ask-don’t-tell! #sotu

“Let’s try common sense!” *silence* #sotu

Do the people of Haiti really chant “USA! USA! USA!” when the Red Cross or whoever pulls someone out of the rubble? #sotu

Wow, surprisingly low production values on the White House staffer panel for citizentube. These kids need a stylist, at least. #sotu

I’m still half-listening to the citizentube post-SotU question-and-answer session, and I have to say that the folks they picked are pretty good on camera and certainly knowledgeable. I guess first impressions aren’t everything. They do look super-young, though—does the White House fire people when they hit 30?

The front page article on CNN.com right now is that Mitt Romney is, according to the latest polls, the leading Republican presidential candidate for 2012. Front. Page.

No, okay? Just no.

We get a break. Even in a state the candidates largely ignore, I’m still sick of campaign coverage. If I had my druthers, anyone who actively campaigned for or reported on a presidential election more than six months before Election Day would be tarred and feathered. I know this wild dream of mine is inconceivable these days, but can’t we at least get two years off? A year? A one-year moratorium on election fuss is hardly too grand a request.

Pretty please?
