State of the union liveblogging: a note

Capitol building

Come back here tonight from 8.30pm eastern time, 1.30am UK time, for all-action liveblogging of Barack Obama's first state of the union address, which technically isn't a state of the union address, because he's only been in office a month, but which will be exceedingly state of the union-esque. Obama will address both houses of Congress, and the response will be delivered from Baton Rouge by up-and-coming potential future Republican president Bobby Jindal, the governor of Louisiana. Join me, we'll open some beers, and together we'll revel in the atmosphere of sober realism tinged with cautious optimism! It will be fun.
