State of the Union Liveblog

It’s about 15 minutes before the State of the Union address, and I have one question: Is this thing in high definition?

Yes, for a combined Christmas-birthday present I got an HDTV for my apartment. It’s nice. And bigger than I thought. And right now I’m watching American Idol in high def — and, well, the remote is all the way at the other end of the couch, so I’m planning on staying on Fox 29 for the SOTU as well. So is it in HD?

Eff what Dubya wants to say about health care or Iran or how squeamish he gets when he thinks about two guys doing each other. I only have one question before the State of the Union, and I’m just wondering if it’s in HD.

Also, lots of fat people have been made fun of on Idol tonight, and I’m expecting plenty of complaint press releases from the National Fat People Coalition or whatever.

Either way, join me here! A little before 9 p.m.! On Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday! For the State of the Union liveblog! I have a can of Yuengling with me, but no drinking games here: I plan on having half of it done at the end of this stupid speech. In the meantime, Matt Donegan has a new blog post up — and it’s predictably awesome — and somebody invited Cindy Sheehan to the SOTU. Oh, snap. Okay, one drinking game: If Sheehan rushes the stage, I’ll finish my beer.

After the jump, the minute-by-minute (or however often I come up with a one-liner) recap.
