So join us, tonight on Slog at 6 p.m., for some watching and discussing of Obama's big speech.

Will the president admit mistakes? Will he keep pushing healthcare reform? Will he say anything about Don't Ask Don't Tell? Will he buy us all presents and tell us it's going to be OK for forever and ever?

Don't be alone when you find out the answer.

What are this administration's drinking game buzz words? Last time it was terror, freedom, strength, safe. This time, I'm going for Hope, Freedom, and Progress. With a special one-off appearance of Struggle.

Apparently there will be a token gay guy with Michelle tonight. So I doubt Obama will mention how his justice department compared gay marriage to an uncle getting married to the uncle's niece.

And on DADT my prediction is not he will ask for it to be totally removed but instead to review the policy and see if gays and lesbians can serve our military in areas where those fags and dykes won't hurt morale or start hitting on breeders during heavy combat. Because speaking as a gay man, there is nothing more that turns me on quite like making out with a straight guy when someone is trying to blow our heads off.

The best way to find out all of these things is to head over to Kate's Pub with the Seattle Democrats! Free WiFi, free pool, happy hour booze, and a big ol' giant television. Boo to the Ya mothafucka.

A lubricious jive talker of the first order. All this sketchy mo-fo has done so far is get his azz elected...

I really like his proposal for a surplus 10 percent tax on income, bonus, options, and payments above $1 million for all persons - corporation or citizen or non-citizen - doing business in or with Americans.

That rocks!

@1 - I think Vanessa said she posted the SOTU drinking game rules to the Facebook event page for the multi-district party at Kate's Pub (4-7pm, 2 blocks west of I-5 on 45th) already.

Does someone have a link?

Anyone know a place online I can watch this live in a foreign country (Mexico)? Does CNN do that? I don't know where to get news other than Slog...
