Liveblogging the Cable News Clowns Talking About Obama's Lecture
Eh, this is not quite as much fun as, say, OBAMA IN A FOOTBALL STADIUM, with Stevie Wonder. But you don't fight the Depression with the media you want, etc.BUT: How weird to have a president who can discuss things in an intelligent way. Let's see how that works out, in this goddamned country. We did thepre-game liveblogging, we did the Obama Speech liveblogging, we did the Obama press conference liveblogging. And now? We will do a bit of this post-game analysis, with theHardballand whatever.

9: 13 PM -- MSNBC is using that terrifying job-loss graph your editor is using for a gchat status message today: OH NOES.
9: 16 PM -- Chris Matthews is just loving Barack Obama's "mind." Gives him a tingle between the legs. But now we must leave MSNBC, because Axelrod is a smarty jones, etc., but he is a PROPAGANDIST.

9: 25 PM -- But what do the blogs say? Who cares, right?
9: 27 PM -- CNN MapQuest King, John King, is going through the states, pointing out various poor redneck states with Republican senators, who won't vote for stimulus, because ... John McCain carried those states.
