Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Get on this, CNN? Or is anybody streaming? The Times has nothing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I can't imagine another surprise announcement that would necessitate the president, in short notice, and not something that requires action, like a threat or nuclear release or something.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

The guy on CNN said it was especially suprising because they called the lid much earlier today. I know about the lid! From CJ Cregg.

You guys haven't been planning an invasion of Canada, have you? We are supposed to have a national election tomorrow...

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

CNN is talking about how they're not speculating about what this is, while speculating on what it is.

They said on CNN it would likely be at 11:45.

CNN is hilarious.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

CNN's got Blitzer saying the announcement will be around 11:45 Eastern.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Whitehouse.gov is supposedly streaming it. Nothing on TV so far.
