John Hodgman addresses the President.
“He is a writer, he writes books even when he doesn’t have to. And he speaks of restoring science and the concept of objective reality to the public square. It is an exciting time to be a nerd. There is talk, in some states, of even decriminalizing evolution. At this very moment the fate of Iran is strangely entwined with the sleep schedules of the geeks who maintain the servers at Twitter and YouTube. And even the President seems to appreciate that we have reached a turning point in history, a triumph of, or dare I say a revenge of the nerds.”
What I love about Hodgman’s brilliant gig is the fact that the TV and radio broadcasters in the audience have *no* idea what to make of John Hodgman, while President Obama completely gets him.
