byzantiumshores.blogspot.com 10/9/2009 — I'm as big a supporter of President Obama as anyone, but even so, it doesn't seem to me that he has a record of accomplishment yet to warrant something like the Nobel Peace Prize .

Today's news — Amy's Robot
Some of today's happenings: The Nobel Committee, in a spasm of ecstatic relief that George W. Bush is no longer President of the United States, awards the Peace Prize to Obama . "He's only been President for 9 months!," everyone is saying, "He hasn't done anything yet!" Obama himself seems ...

What I’m Getting Wednesday October 14 — Comics And...Other Imaginary Tales
Obama being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize is the final straw in turning what was once an award that at least had some argumentative value into a joke. I thought it would have been great if Obama had refused it, but he did at least say that it was undeserved. I think it came at a ...
