"I'm on television!"

Today, Detroit is hosting the Super Bowl.  I live in Royal Oak, Michigan, a mere 10 miles from the action and am enjoying the current media festival.  Media representatives are here from all over the world and Detroit is getting a lot of extra attention.

In preparing for the event,  city, state and county government have worked to put on a good face for our 15 minutes of fame.  All the painting and cleaning and advertising might prompt an objective observer to ask, "Why doesn't Detroit act like this all the time?"

I believe it was Thomas Jefferson who said, "Always act as if you are on television."

Television hadn't been invented in Jefferson's day. Must have been Lincoln...or Fred Allen.

You sure it was Thomas Jefferson? :)
