State of the State 2009

Governor Perry will be making his State of the State address today at 11, in which he’s expected to talk about the budget, hurricane relief, and some red meat for his primary voters. You can get a preview of it in this Chron story. For those of you who want to follow it live, along with some sure-to-be-lively commentary, try KXAN, which will stream the speech along with blogging from Charlie Ray (formerly of the late, lamented PinkDome.com) and Karen Brooks. For those of you on Twitter, I’d recommend Eileen Smith, Gardner Selby, Brandi Grissom, and Elise Hu. I’ll have something to say about it later. Tune in now and be glad you didn’t have to fight for a seat or be outside in the nasty weather Austin is having (and Houston will soon have) today.
