Please, in your commentary---my senator's name is Hutchison, not Hutchinson!
Brian keeps pronouncing it wrong, and it was wrong in the Accountability Project chart too.
I'm not planning to watch the SOTU. It is nothing but partisan staging, and sheds absolutely no light on what I can expect from my government over the next year. I find it all rather insulting to my intelligence.
I'll put money on the assumption that he WON'T admit that the US is engaged in a secret war in Yemen and Pakistan or mention Wikileaks at all.
