I, apparently, like pain

Masochist that I am, I listened to the president's press conference last night. I don't know why I keep listening to him speak. It always upsets me. And I was sober, which made it all so much worse.

I know it's a liberal cliche to point out dumb things that the president says. Here I am being trite:

From the press conference:
One of the great sources of energy for the future is liquefied natural gas. There's a lot of gas reserves around the world. Gas can only be transported by ship, though, when you liquefy it, when you put it in solid form.
I was dumbfounded when I heard this. I'm no chemist, but I would imagine that liquefying means to put things in a liquid form, not a solid one.

liquefy=to become liquid.
Solidify=to make solid.

It's quite simple, really.

You rock.

And I can't imagine you watched an entire press conference sober. That one above has got to be worth at least three shots if you were doing a drinking game.

Hmm...I'm having an idear...
