Reminder: Liveblog tomorrow!

      Comments Off on Reminder: Liveblog tomorrow!

Make no mistake: There will be a State of the Union Live Blog & Live Chat tomorrow. Let me be clear: it won’t happen overnight. (Rather, it will start at 6:50 PM Mountain Time, or 8:50 EDT.) So bring your teleprompter and join us for some “partisan games”! Yes We Can!

[UPDATE/CORRECTION: I’ll put the chat window up a bit early — probably 6:00 PM Mountain Time or so — but the actual liveblog won’t begin until 7pm MDT, or maybe a few minutes thereafter, due to Loyette’s bedtime. I hope to be there in time for “Madame Speaker, the President of the United States!”]

P.S. Here’s a SOTU drinking game that would, make no mistake, result in instant death. Here’s another. Change isn’t easy — but if you don’t change the rules of these games, and you play them anyway, let me be clear: you’re dead. Whatever the cynics and naysayers might tell you, these are for entertainment purposes only.

First came this fake news report from the Onion News Network…

…and then, as if in answer, this real photo, featured today on the Drudge Report, of Obama speaking at an elementary school — with a pair of teleprompters in tow:

Obama

Heh. As actual political commentary, the Obama-teleprompter meme is pretty dumb; as comedy, however, it’s pretty damn funny. Case in point: Obama is skipping jury duty in Chicago because “the deliberation room was too small for his teleprompter.” Tee hee.
