"It's also telling that, despite all the leftist handwringing about how the 'teabaggers' are inciting violence, no one is editing TV shows to avoid pissing them off."

A simple and noteworthy observation from a commenter over at Reason's blog, in light of Comedy Central/Viacom's unsurprising (yet still disappointing) handling of the most recent "South Park" episode.

Also, just 'cause:

Word is that Obama will be announcing plans for an eight-billion-dollar highspeed rail project, either tonight in his State of the Union address, or possibly tomorrow. If it's tonight, try work it into your SOTU drinking game. Drink for every "let me be clear," "save or create jobs," and denial that the project will bear any resemblance to the 1979 TV show Supertrain, either in ballooning production costs or hasty failure.

 

Update: Jim Treacher points out that folks at the Cato Institute will be drinking liveblogging the SOTU tonight at 9pm Eastern. Also, so will he, probably.
