By the way, the only reason I haven't commented on Tuesday's State of the Union address is because I'm still trying to look up the word "rostrum." He used it in the first sentence and left me bumfuzzled for the remainder of the speech. An interesting tactic.
Update: Here we go, from Merriam Webster
Rostrum:
a) the often spinelike anterior median prolongation of the carapace of a crustacean
b) a bodily part or process suggesting a bird's bill: as a : the beak, snout, or proboscis of any of various insects or arachnids
c) the curved end of a ship's prow; especially : the beak of a war galley
d) an ancient Roman platform for public orators
e) a stage for public speaking
7) a raised platform on a stage
Fuck, man. Couldn't you have said stage.
