Join Us For Liveblogging, Tonight, Because of Obama's Speech Thing!

It seems like just last January when we last gathered around our laptops in the night and thrilled to the current president reading something or other at this one place. And tonight, the magic will happen again! Who will win for best actress? It could be Natalie Portman and it could be whatever fat white slob yells something at Obama, from the Congress. It is sure to be an inspiring speech surrounded by evenmoreinspirational panel discussions and spin. Please gather as much alcohol as you can possibly steal/afford -- budget freeze except for anything military or torture-y! -- and join us at 8: 30 p.m. Eastern and 5:30 p.m. Pacific as we help you cope. Meanwhile, enjoy these pre-speech wrap-ups of the speech!
