Live blog of Bush speech on economy
Bush will address the nation tonight at 9pm ET to discuss the proposed bailout. From CNN:
White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said Bush wants to explain the issues directly to the public.
"Americans are beginning to understand that a cold on Wall Street could infect Main Street as well," she said. "There are a lot of terms that are very hard to understand."
This is partially intended as a test of the coveritlive module -- we were gonna do this for the debate but it's looking like there's a chance the debate might not happen, so I figured I'd just throw this up. I'll demote it from the frontpage after the speech.

In my expert opinion, you should do what I tell you to do.

It's very strange without javascript enabled on your browser.

Hmm, so I get a little admin window
and it lets me permit or prohibit comments as they are made. I can also choose "always allow" for posters but only up to 10.

I made a test comment, but don't see it. Did you get it?

I got it, and changed the start time
Not sure if it will work now...

Maybe I should have set the start time
for right now. Not sure if it will display anything until 8?

Okay, that's just plain nifty.
I've been grading papers and wasn't online much this evening, but I'll definitely join in the fun if we do this for a debate. Er... provided all the debates aren't postponed.
Seriously nifty find, Brendan. I like this.

Glad you like it
I agree, it's convenient and easy. I suspect with a large number of people it might become difficult to keep track of separate conversations, but there's a private message feature anyway.
We'll give it a shot for the debates, see how that goes.

...the conversations are fluid...Its fun and spontaneous.

Shucks
My new job keeps me busy during the evening, so I won't be able to join in the festivities. Hopefully, I'll have better luck getting a 9-5, so I can be here for the election day liveblog.
