live blogging the SOTU
20:39 this speech is vapid, but at least not offensive (unless you consider lack of substance offensive)
20:36 give citizenship for service in the military--but you can't get a secret clearance, so you can't use the computers so...you can't really get promoted...seems a little "rock and a hard place"
20:32 Al Franken!!
20:30 Some of these things are just cheer lines...I don't know why I'm watching. (My husband just called my blogging "my work" :) I love this kid!)
20:27 the Joint Chiefs look REALLY bored...and where are the zoomies and Marines?
20:24 minimum tax on all corporations to support American companies? That's interesting...
20:20 it's all past so far...republicans are confused if they should clap for GM or not
20:12 starts of with a pander to the troops. No one can be against troops, right?
20:11 There should be a "no ovation" rule...either that or the opposite, more "you lie!" guys--I mean, at least TRY to be genuine.
20:08 Chief Justice Roberts greeted him with what appeared to be a rather warm and genuine smile...Ginsberg doesn't look well :(
20:06 Was that Dick Cheney?!
20:05 This whole thing has got to be the most ridiculous thing we do as a country. It doesn't drive policy, it's purely political. There are so many norms and traditions that are, what...a decade? old, why bother? It makes us all look petty and rather silly.
19:58 First lady's "guests" I hate that...people-props
19:57 Alito, Thomas and Scalia all skipped the SOTU...and Sotamayor--is this going to be her norm?
