I normally haven't done this, but for some reason I feel the need to blog the State of the Union address... so I'll be doing that live, with a beer in my hand. As I said on Twitter earlier, I would prefer it if the President delivered the State of the Union in the form of a letter (a proud tradition started by Thomas Jefferson and continued for about 100 years). Jefferson believed that giving the State of the Union in a speech to Congress resembled the British practice of the Monarch's Speech from the Throne. So, with all that said, please stop back at this post around 8PM Central, and watch my commentary fly by! You won't be sorry... well... maybe you will be.

Update: I'll also be live blogging the responses by Paul Ryan and Michele Bachmann. For some background on my views regarding Paul Ryan, check out my previous posts about him (Hint - I don't really like him).
