I don't know what I love most about February: Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent, Kate Upton's annual portfolio update or the president's State of the Union speech.

(Of course, it's tough to compete with the Church this year, what with that historic resignation sending the media into such a frenzy. My favorite part? Quitting in Latin. That's pretty cool. Maybe I'll do my valentines in Latin this year. I've still got time.)

Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, so how does the president follow up that inaugural love fest back in January? With a pretty, by-the-numbers kind of State of the Union. Well, except for the gun control cheerleading he wrapped up with. Which I think is what most viewers walked away with given his poll numbers. Like it or not, the president does seem to have the support of most Americans when it comes to his gun control proposals. Well, at least they think so.
