Admit it.
When you’re watching the State of the Union you talk back to the screen, right? When you do that alone, you sound crazy. When you do it in the company of a whole mess of progressive-minded local people, it’s perfectly normal.
Tonight at 8:30 p.m., the Western New York Coalition for Progress will host a State of the Union watch party at JP Bullfeathers, located at 1010 Elmwood Avenue in Buffalo. Admission is free, but donations to help defray the cost of food will be graciously accepted. RSVP for headcount to sotu@wnyprogress.org

In addition, we plan to play a game of iState of the Union Bingoi, where participants can compete for prizes if enough words or phrases on their bingo cards match up with what President Bush says.
