@MeidasTouch Watching via C-SPAN is much more exciting than any of the talking heads networks. I look to those channels afterwards for analyses, but during the roll-call, it’s “being there” with C-SPAN!

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

@MeidasTouch He knocked it outta the park tonight! Let’s hope this speech translates to continued funding and support from the coming 113th Congress!

@fabnana74 Hi, try the following hashtag: #twittermigration and try posting there! In fact, if you type in #twitter, a ton of stuff will show up. I left Twitter two weeks ago after having been there since 2011. I’m in a bit of a withdrawal phase and have yet to gather any followers. Time will tell! Good luck!

@rbreich That is par for the course, yes!

@RouxJ It’s apparent that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are pound-for-pound superior to the Russians. Motivation is one of the main factors, but also western (NATO) training and of course superior leadership is a factor. I fully expect the Ukrainians to prevail! Slava Ukraini!
