RE: How many of you are watching the State of the Union...
Normally I watch it, no matter which party is in power. I don't know--they're all boring and long-winded, but it's the most important speech of the year, given by the leader of the free world. I think it's worth my attention and 30-40 minutes of my time to be aware of what agenda/direction the president is setting for the country. Actually, I think it's my responsibility as a voting citizen of this country to be well informed about this sort of thing, even if I disagree with the politics of the party in power. (Though sometimes that means reading about it in the paper the next day.)
Ok, getting off my soapbox now.
