Tonight, President Bush will give his farewell address as president and Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick will deliver a State of the State address.

NBC Nightly News reported that it will begin carrying coverage of the president's speech at 8 p.m.

Patrick is scheduled to speak at 7:30 p.m., according to the governor's office Web site. It is slated to be broadcast on Boston channels 5, 7, 38, and New England Cable News, some radio stations, and streamed live by the legislature. Video and transcript of the speech will be available on this site shortly afterwards.

The Associated Press in Boston reports the sagging state and national economies prompted Patrick to transform his speech "from the typical recitation of lofty political ideals to a more practical call to arms for reforms achievable only in such dire circumstances, he said Thursday.
