1. Probably -- I think it's required for broadcast networks

and cable just goes along.

9. It used to have something to do with "programing in the public interest"

in order to keep FCC licenses -- that stations had to have a certain amount of programming that "INFORMED" its viewers. (Considering the b.s. we get from this AsshatInChief, though, I don't see how his SOTU addresses qualify as "information.")

2. I just found out I can see next weeks The Wire on HBO on demand

so I don't give a rats ass who has it on.

Although I might be missing the comedy event of the year.

:)

5. My local ABC, NBC, & CBS are airing it. CNN, MSNBC, CSpan1&2 too.

I plan to watch it for as long as possible. I think I only made it through the first 3-4 minutes of the last one.

6. When do the festivities start?

7. I think I read somewhere 9pm. I haven't really been paying all that much

attention. The only draw for me is to see the looks of the Dems' faces when they show the audience. I hope their arms are folded across their chests and they're scowling. Or rolling their eyes.

8. Thanks! I mute the Chimpster--just watch the crowd and the circus, like you.
