Time Out Of My Mind

In the spirit of Bill Maher, I'd like to propose the following new rule: Cable news channels should not have a countdown clock leading up to the start of a presidential State of the Union address. Hello? A State of the Union address? You're counting down to that? It's a constitutionally required annual message to Congress, not the liftoff of an expedition to Mars! If you want to count down to an end in politics, count down the days until Harry Reid is voted out of office!
