Will we get to see the SOTU?

I know, this Dorner stuff is happening now; I imagine he planned it that way.

What time is the SOTU supposed to happen anyway?

Bet the talking heads are incensed; all those hours of speculation, gone to Big Bear, CA.

It would be unfortunate if the White House had to instruct the networks and cable channels to cover the speech like they are supposed to.

I don't think this will have any impact. I hope not because I'm signed up for the 'after SOTU' internet call from the President, and staying up until 10 is pushing it, for me.

Why would one think it wouldn't be on?

And I just finished watching Jeopardy. The winner of the teen tourney got $75,000 today.

7. Maybe a split screen? You know they won't totally break from the Dorner story....

Too much "entertainment" value.

8. That would work for the suits; sigh. And 'entertainment' is

a big stretch for me; let it unfold, tell me what happened. I don't need to hear/see this endless coverage.

12. I'm sure the network execs consider it a ratings bonanza....A standoff with shooting and a fire

9. The half-wits can go to FOX "News" to watch the Dorner coverage. They probably weren't going to

show the SOTU anyway, were they? I know my watching either won't change them. I can blow both off and catch up later, and I might. I may watch a movie instead. Then let MSNBC fill me in.
