Wait, what? A "Tea Party response" to the President's State of the Union address, to be delivered by whom? You're kidding, right? Herman Cain will deliver Tea Party response to the State of the Union. "We are excited to have Herman Cain deliver the 2nd Tea Party State of the Union response ...

Tonight after the President's State of the Union speech, wacky fundamentalist Michele Bachmann will be giving the Tea Party response. I'm really looking forward to the mirth factor of this one, because Bachmann is dependably cuckoo and she's going to feel compelled to toss some red meat into the teabag ...

At The Volcanism Blog (you knew there had to be one!), they’re not too happy about Governor Bobby Jindal’s “volcano monitoring” slam: Something called ‘volcano monitoring’. The Volcanism Blog does not do politics, any more than it does sport, religion or cookery. In particular, as a blog born and bred ...

A second thread for Governor Bobby Jindal’s answer to the Obama love fest we just witnessed. UPDATE at 2/24/09 7:39:05 pm: I’ll bet the volcanologists aren’t happy after that. Jindal threw “volcano monitoring” under the bus. You guys in the Pacific Northwest — no “bailouts” for you! It was probably the most specific ...

A second thread since the first is already raging out of control... So many smiling politicians as he makes his entrance. Now I’m becoming afraid.
They’re not calling it a “State of the Union” speech, because tradition dictates that the first SOTU is given one year after a President’s inauguration. In everything but name, however, that’s what it is. Here’s our first thread to live-blog, criticize, and perhaps even issue a rueful chuckle or two, as ...

I just took another look at my recording of the State of the Union speech, to see if I was imagining the amazingly rapid blinking of Nancy Pelosi. Nope. During one segment when the camera stayed on President Bush and Pelosi, I clocked her at 60 to 90 Blinks Per Minute. Impressive. ...
