We found the congressman in the worst mood after President Barack Obama’s State of the Union speech. Guess Super Bowl Media Day didn’t cheer him up.
- If you missed the Super Bowl of political speeches, here are some ways to catch up on President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address. The New York Times has your basic recap here, the Washington Post has a full transcript here (including applause pauses), Mashable has 8 hours of the enhanced broadcast here (Obama enters the room at 5 hours, 9 minutes), and Jon Stewart lampoons everything here.
- Or, you could skip all of that stuff for now and read Time magazine’s post-speech account of U.S. Rep. Michael Grimm threatening to throw a reporter off a balcony.
- And in case you forgot, Obama is following up his SOTU address with a Thursday visit to Milwaukee, one of several stops on his post-speech tour, according to Time.
- Meanwhile, Milwaukee is in the national and international news for something else, but not the good kind. Word has spread far and wide about Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra Concertmaster Frank Almond being robbed of his priceless Stradivarius violin.
- And finally, as is always the case, Super Bowl Media Day delivered lots of quotes, and lots of weirdness. People in New Jersey paid $30 apiece to watch Tuesday’s cavalcade live, buy you need not pay a dime to read Athlon Sports’ recap of 10 odd things to come from it.
