Every Tom, Dick and Harriet will be blogging tonight about the SOTU. I hate to admit it but here goes. I couldn't watch the State of the Union address tonight. Not even a full minute. I know I should and the guilt I feel goes deep. And most of my family will hang their heads in shame.

But Alfred E. Newman is unwatchable and I cannot stand the sound of his voice. So I plan to read it in the New York Times (free registration required) at my liesure. I'm sure the outrage will be endless. So I watched From the Earth to the Moon and The Shield instead - now that's good television. Until tomorrow...
