SOTU open thread

The State of the Union is tonight (starts at 9 pm ET). What are you hoping for/predicting (if you're reading this pre-SOTU)? What did you think (if you're reading this post-SOTU). [insert lame joke about "live blogging" here]

umm.. did bush just declare war on iran?

also, was it just me but that democrat from virginia who delivered that rebuttal, he had problems controlling his eyebrows, no? he looked like spock with one eyebrow raised like 2 inches above the other, and i found him very amateurish. they should've had obama.

He gave Katrina and the Gulf Coast shockingly little coverage. From memory, maybe a paragraph max.

Why would he mention it? All it will do is remind people of how badly they screwed up...and no one amongst the Democrats is going to ably take him to task for not mentioning it. That's a losing move politically...

Isn't "[insert lame joke about 'live blogging' here]" itself a lame joke about live blogging? If that was your intent, well played, sir, well played.

And while we're on the topic, as it happens Harlan Piper actually did live-blog the State of the Union, in an effort that is decidedly unlame, despite Golis's unceasing and merciless attempts to vilify the practice.

Why do you hate live-blogging, Golis? Isn't it time to end the monopoly that non-live-bloggers have over our blog discourse?
