5:40PM I have: Two monitors, one live stream from CNN, one live blog on PJM, one ice bucket, one cocktail shaker, one martini glass, one 1.75 liter bottle of Grey Goose (half empty, alas), and a more or less complete lack of patience with our Administration and Congress, and a burning desire to gloat over every little tiny thing.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is what drunkblogging is all about.
6:20PM “I’ve proposed a fee on the biggest banks.” Which will come right out of that loan you’ll be applying for.
6:20PM Wall Street is going to crater if picking on banks is the big applause line of the night.
6:22PM Millions of Americans had more to spend… except for the 17% who can’t find enough work.
6:22PM Two million jobs saved or created! Honest! And it was only 1.5 million on Sunday morning, and only “thousands and thousands” slightly earlier on Sunday morning.
6:24PM Who are these “pundits on the right?” Last I checked, David Brooks was singular, despite the S at the end of his name. Oh, and also he’s not on the right. So, uh, there.
6:24PM “For every success story, there are other stories.” Again, this is one seriously oppressive SOTU.
6:25PM A jobs bill. We’ll borrow more money from our kids to hire people to siphon more money out of productive people. Folks, I wasn’t kidding earlier. We’re f*cked.
We did not watch the SOTU speech nor have we read it online so we rely on this report from the now, presumably, hungover Stephen Green.
