Slog - Comments on Oh Yeah, the SOTU http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/01/oh_yeah_the_sotu Remember that guy who's still president? He's giving a big speech tonight at 9 p.m. EST, 6 p.m. PST. He has a few things he wants to say. A few big ideas for his last year in office. I'll be here on Slog with our handy new liveblogging widget (which is really, in some ways, more like a portable chat room in which everyone can join the "liveblog").
