Political Animal
Blog
I’m planning to live-blog the SOTU tonight (it begins at 9:00 EST), so will follow my usual Hard Day’s Night practice of knocking off regular blogging a bit early this afternoon. Here are some mid-day news bites of various sizes and flavors:
* Anonymous threatening to block all web-based livestreaming of SOTU.
* WaPo blogger falls for Daily Currant snark “reporting” Sarah Palin taking gig with Al Jazeera.
* Massachusetts GOPers finally get a Senate candidate: former Navy SEAL Gabriel Gomez.
* Labour opens up twelve-point lead over Tories—largest in a decade—in Guardian/ICM poll of UK.
* North Korean nuclear test widely viewed as showing defiance of China.
And in non-political news:
* Four Alabama football bench players arrested on robbery and credit card fraud charges; cynics suggest magical solution to team’s chronic oversigning problems.
Back after an actual lunch break.

One of the all time great musicals. About fifteen years ago there was documentary called "You Can't Do That," about the making of "A Hard Day's Night." I don't think it's ever been released on DVD, but if you ever get a chance to see it check it out. It's a lot of fun too, even sans the Fab Four themselves.

Any reason why Anonymous would block the SOTU?

A Hard Day's Night fans might want to check out the recently digitally remastered (sound and picture)Quadrophenia.

jjm, @3:34. Probably feeling under-appreciated and want attention. A bit like a two yr old yelling "Mama! See what a big poop I made!"
