Why President Bush is addressing the nation at 9 p.m. EDT and not earlier

You might wonder why President Bush is scheduled to address the nation at 9 p.m. EDT (watch here on AP's live feed if you have Internet Explorer).

My guess? It's because "Dancing With the Stars" starts at 8 p.m., when we find out who's getting dumped from the show (aside from Jeff Ross, who I've never heard of and who already got booted, the ABC Web site tells me) in its first week:

What will the president be up against at 9 p.m. Eastern? On ABC, "David Blaine: Dive of Death," in which the quirky magician/illusionist/nutcase presumably dives to what could very well be his death. Quite the metaphor for President Bush.

Luckily (or not), the speech starts at 6 p.m. on the West Coast, so watchers of "Dancing With the Stars" and "David Blaine: Dive of Death" have absolutely nothing to worry about.

President Bush is going up against a plethora of death at 9 p.m. On Fox, the Brad Garrett sitcom " 'Til Death" airs. CBS has "Criminal Minds," and no, I'm not going there, but you are welcome to do so. NBC has "America's Got Talent," where I presume they're not looking for the nation's best CEOs, and the CW has a repeat of the not-old-enough-to-be-in-repeats "Beverly Hills, 91210" remake.

Why the AP's live video plays in Internet Explorer only: Microsoft developed the application for the Associated Press. Can you tell? The whole AP video service used to be IE only, but now the prerecorded videos can be played on any computer with Flash. But the live videos are still IE only. I'm not happy about it, but there it is.
