Not I, but I'm curious about something.

Traditionally, all nine justices of the Supreme Court attend, and it's newsworthy if one of them doesn't.

I'm wondering who'll be missing this evening.

Only 6 went last year.  Scalia, Thomas and Alito sat it out.

I recall that Ruth Bader Ginsberg missed one during the Impeached One's administration, or this current administration.  And it didn't have anything to do with her illness; it was that she was irked for some political reason.

I'm going to watch the movie "Redeye" that is on 5MAXHD.  It's about an assassination plot of a political figure.  Entertainment value and all that.  I don't think I can sit through hearing 0s voice for over an hour.

Also meant to mention it will be a campaign speech even though he can't technically be elected anymore.

Eh, I'm going to try.

Fortunately or unfortunately, I find that I seem unable to tolerate more then about 15 or 20 minutes.

I hope that code pink shows up or perhaps people start flying paper airplanes around.

For those not watching he basically said he will do whatever he wants using Executive Orders to do as he pleases to "grow" America.

This is really hard to watch but it's not unusual, he insists on being wrong about everything and taking responsibility for things that he has actively tried to kill.

It's pretty brutal.

Two new 'Counting Cars' and a new 'American Restoration' episode on tonight.  NO way I'm wasting my time watching that lying, jug-eared asshole.

In fact, Obama failed to get any of his top 2013 State of the Union priorities through Congress. Congress ignored his calls for a new jobs program, for new gun controls and for sweeping immigration reform.

Because of that, the 2014 speech is viewed by strategists in both parties as part of a defining test: Can Obama rebuild his standing enough to force action on some of his priorities, or will 2014 instead be remembered as another frustrating year of gridlock and the gateway to "lame duck" status?

As President Barack Obama enters his sixth year in the White House, 68 percent of Americans say the country is either stagnant or worse off since he took office, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Most respondents used words like “divided,” “troubled,” and “deteriorating” to describe the current state of the nation.

There was a little blip on gun tragedies he addressed, too, and basically said that he'd do what he could to rid us of guns with or WITHOUT Congress.

Then he was talking about Iraq, Iran, and Syria, and how we should do what is Constitutionally acceptable. Paraphrased that, but this man is a JOKE, and a DANGEROUS joke at that.
