SOTU "liveblog"

2153: The Battle of Iwo Jima? WTF does that have to do with the debt other than it's emotional and so is the debt? Also...that photo was staged.

2151: suggestions: Stop the EPA from monitoring air quality. Deregulate? Because deregulation and free market solutions DIDN'T contribute to the economic collapse?

2149: They should move the telepromptor closer to the camera so it doesn't look like she's looking over my shoulder. Also, the stimulus worked according to most economists.

2148:How exactly did Michelle Bachmann get important enough that her speech is covered to begin with?

2129:I stopped listening to Paul Ryan nine minutes ago.

2130: Suddenly realized I missed most of it. Now, onto the "rebuttals". I'm oddly horrified to hear what Michelle Bachmann has to say.

2111: Why does the President insist on pronouncing "Pakistan" correctly, but "Iraq" and "Chile" don't get correct pronunciations? Also...Biden needs to stop smiling.

2109: Boehner might cry again...

2108: Started watching the SOTU late. Ginsberg looks really old. Boehner looks really bored and less orange than usual.
