No surprises tonight, friends.
If there's one thing I've learned watching the trainwreck that is this "administration" for past six years, it's that they don't do surprises. They don't have the mental flexibility or even the rudimentary planning ability necessary to do so.

We already know what they will tell him to say. The only thing that is unknown is our reaction to it. And by that, I don't mean our comments on this board. I mean our actions.

Are we ready to show our strength beginning tomorrow?

1. I truly think that we need a day of solidarity. When that doesn't work
follow it up the following week with 2 days in a row, then 3 days in a row the following week. No work, no spending, no school, no nothing. Perhaps when the corporate overlords take notice something will happen.

Until us 'mythical little people' do something to fight back they'll keep winning. Just a thought.

2. Good thought, tnlefty.
I'm there.:) Move-on has scheduled protests all over tomorrow. I hope all Duers go to their local protest.

4. Is this from the speech?
Sorry, I can't watch. Am relying on DUers to keep me informed.

8. The Iraq Study Group must feel like they wasted a lot of time
Bush was supposed to review their plan in coming up with his own approach after their report came out. I thought that was what this delay until after the holidays was all about. Now, I guess the ISG has been thrown out the window and no one is talking about them anymore.

9. They're not listening to anyone
We have to stop fooling ourselves. You're right about the ISG. The course for Iraq was charted long ago, and will continue unless WE stop it.
