I’m watching the live satellite feed of the National Spelling Bee right now. (it’s on channel 39 for you folks here at Bristol).
Update: You can see the tape later at 5 on ESPN2. The National Spelling Bee site says that the actual event is done at 4PM. It’s fascinating… the commentators have bios for the kids so they can say things like, “That was the perfect word for Abigail because she participates in such and such an activity.” Production values, baby. Oh, and I have baseball on the other TVs here. 
More: We need REALTIME for the national spelling bee!! and Player Cards!
Even MORE!: Wonkette has a note from a journalist covering the bee. Suffice to say, they’re not happy with the assignment.

46 Spellers Remain…
Sujal just tipped me off: the National Spelling Bee is on now, and I’m loving it as much as I did last year. It’s compelling TV, I tell you!…
