| President Obama will be presenting his agenda for this year at the annual State of the Union address to Congress tonight. Special guests range from people who have real accomplishments - Apple's Tim Cook & JPL's Bobak Ferdowsi - to a washed-up NRA rocker who has drawn Secret Service scrutiny because of his statements about the president. 
Nugent may actually have a future as a politician.... he hasn't kept his promise that he'd either be "dead or in jail" if Obama were re-elected. Will you be watching? There are a number of SOTU "watch parties" scheduled around the state tonight. Search for one near you at this link.
