Weekend open thread

Come out firing.

Countdown to the jobs speech

And you thought it couldn't get any more surreal:

• The White House announces the NFL will move the Packers-Saints game to Wednesday, opposite the Republican debate.
• Rick Perry announces he can't participate in the GOP debate on Wednesday because he'll be watching football that night.
• The Houston Texans' Arian Foster goes down with a hamstring injury, and Sean Hannity takes to the air to attack Obama for costing the NFL jobs.
• The Republican debate is pushed back to Thursday; John Boehner says Congress can't meet in a joint session that evening because the House will be debating tax relief for NFL owners. He suggests Obama should have addressed Congress last Saturday, during Hurricane Irene.
• Saints quarterback Drew Brees says he can't play Wednesday because he's received a supboena to testify before Congress on tax relief for NFL owners and he must fly to Washington.
• The White House announces he will address Congress on jobs last Saturday and urges Republican lawmakers to somehow be there.
• Rick Perry accuses Obama of waging a war on science.
• The NFL pushes the season opener back to Thursday because it just can't be sure about where Hurricane Katia will be.
• Mitt Romney accuses Obama of causing climate change.
• John Boehner reads last Sunday's Washington Post and realizes President Obama had addressed an empty chamber of Congress. The president proposed creating jobs by eliminating all taxes for NFL owners, players and coaches.
• Michele Bachmann accuses Obama of interfering with job growth in the private sector. Marcus Bachmann prays that new Apple CEO Tim Cook will be cured of his gayness.
• The White House announces it will unveil an expanded job plan during halftime of the Saints-Packers.
• The Republican debate is postponed because of a hurricane. Rick Perry demands more federal aid for Texas.
