The State of the Union, As It Goes  @9:39 PM

10:22 p.m. And it is over. Obama has never chanted "USA, USA, USA" before in his life. And it shows. Apart from that? I give that a pretty high marks for an ending. We don't quit! I don't quit! It was like a really good car commercial, back when we made cars. Still, it was nowhere near as ornate as some of the hyper-engineered Bush speeches? But it was less manipulative and therefore more persuasive. But! Now that that is concluded, we would like to hear from you in the comments, so we can know more fully what we all think of this speech tomorrow. READ MORE 126

 

Live Blogging Today's Big Events!  @1:00 PM

1:00 p.m. I know you guys are excited as I am!
1:02 p.m. Okay so. Esta dia on La Tormenta, on Telemundo, things are starting off CRAZY. That hot guy, who I think is Maria Teresa's son? (It might be Simon Guerrero?) He is holding a baby that I think someone wants to take away from him?
1:04 p.m. Now this girl is changing outfits, on the train? I think she is wearing a wig! I don't know what she's up to.
1:05 p.m. Okay so she's off the train. There are all these people on the train station. And she's getting a cab. The thing that's so great about La Tormenta is that there are like people carrying bags of rice and stuff in the background? It's like everyone's a peasant except the very important people who are very dramatic.
1:07 p.m. They've already cut to commercial. By the way, I should probably mention at this point that I don't speak Spanish, but that doesn't lessen my desire to understand the fiery drama that consume the lives of people at the Maria Teresa's family estate, the titular La Tormenta. READ MORE 23
