STEPHEN GREEN will be drunkblogging the State of the Union. They’ll also be liveblogging over at United Liberty.

Stephen Green opens: “Word is, the President’s forward-looking speech will place heavy reference on Sputnik, launched in 1957 by a country which ceased to exist 20 years ago.”

UPDATE: They’re also liveblogging at Cato.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Brian Gates emails: “Re Sputnik – They told me if I voted for McCain the President would get nostalgic for 1950s America….” And they were right!
