Happy Frideee everybody!
wow.. was Randi dropping turds on Keith or what ??? she sounded mean … must have been one of thoes heavy flow daze…
I have enough problems keeping up with this show every day, unfortunately there’s no time for Randi, Thom, Mike etc….
As it is I’m 4 days behind on Rachel & Keith….
Good Morning, trojanrabbit and the rest o’ the early risers.
The explosions you’re hearing are not the sound of spacecraft hitting the moon, but the heads of wingers’ heads ‘esploding’ as they learn that President Obama just won the Nobel Peace Prize. Woo Hoo!
4.
Good morning shaf.
Yes, especially when Obama was cited for his outreach to the Muslim world. Of course. He’s a seekrit Muslin fist-jabbin’ terrist.
And, for no good ‘raisin’, I’m reminded of the Marvin the Martian quote, “Where’s the kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom?”
The Illudium PU-36 Explosive Space Modulator!!!!
You do realize of course that the Moon’s orbit has been altered, resulting in massive tidal surges that will wipe out all life on the planet.
#8 Oops, our bad!
This week on “How to do it” we’re going to show you how to play the flue, how to split an atom, how to build a box girder bridge and how to irrigate the Sahara Desert and make vast new areas of land cultivatable. But first, here’s Jackie to tell you how to rid the world of all known diseases.
damnit – that’s FLUTE
Jesus H. Christ.
A Nobel peace prize?
Maybe I missed something but…holy shite.
hey random. Long time no see.
#8: isn’t that the story behind that 80′s cartoon “Thandarr the Barbarian”?
“Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize. How this is another attempt to shift America more towards socialism” by Glenn Beckhole.
Have you guys seen this .. Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091009/ap_on_re_eu/eu_nobel_peace
Hola. haven’t listened in a long time, that’s why.
But can’t not listen if we’re gonna be talking about this Nobel prize thingy.
Obama just bombed the s_hit out of the aliens on the moon ,and he gets the Nobel….
and for those of you who would enjoy more a posting at fox news
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/10/09/president-barack-obama-wins-nobel-peace-prize/
Actually Faux News will probably say that it’s not a real Nobel & this it’s really chocolate inside.
Which is very unlike Michael Steele! Way ho!!
…and he trucks towards the penalty box…
8 and here I wuz thinking we were gonna hafta wait til 2012.
This is so much better
News Item: “Michael Steele has resigned from the RNC so he
can go on food stamps like other black people.” — with
apologies to Phil Hendrie, and black people
Goodbody everymorning!
Mornin blog!
WTF?!?
“New Oklahoma Law Will Put Details Of All Abortions Online”
http://jezebel.com/5376502/new-oklahoma-law-will-put-details-of-all-abortions-online
Gotta go out for a little bit;
talk amongst yourselves
Momma will be here in a few minutes,
of course that’s still not adult supervision…
My comment on the Peace Prize over on Kos:
“Just put me in the ‘Way too soon’ camp’
Obama has started some processes, but they’re limited in scope. Sure, it’s nice that he began negotiations with Iran and deescalated with Russia by taking missile defense off their doorstep (not that they were right to be worried for the deterrent – it didn’t work).
But he’s been tepid on Afghanistan and hot-and-cold on pressuring Israel.
2012, depending on how things turned out might have been a better year for him.”
For this, I was accused of being unable to congratulate Obama, and accused of sounding like a wingnut.
26: Well, that’s just asking for a psycho serial killer.
From Media Matters:
“Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize? I need a pill!”
Is it rude to hope this news about the Nobel will actually cause some burst aneurysms amongst the most rabid of the wingnuts?
Richt now Shrub is whining: “why did I get one? I want a Nabisco Piece of Pie!”
I can not wait to see Hannitys HEAD EXPLODE on faux news!
It’s Miller Time!
#33 – with the size of Hannity’s head, that would be an enormous mess…!
I’m sorta wondering if this was done on purpose just to poke the wingnuts?
Because it seems way too early for me as well. Though the bar is quite low seeing what his predecessor did.
Thanks, ProducerChris, for the Marvin drop!
28, I agree with PeterW, it’s way too soon. Too many things could happen.
ProducerChris, the Nobel Peace Prize is unique in that it doesn’t reward accomplishment, but encourages process.
this is the best thing to happen to the liberal/progressive agenda…we want him to do what he promised…this is one damn good way to do it
The sum total of Obama’s accomplishments may appear insignificant to the casual observer, but the stark contrast from the previous administration’s “Carry a Big Stick and Poke it in Everyone’s Eye” style of “Diplomacy” is a giant leap forward in International Relations.
By merely vanquishing the right-wing warmongers from the White House, Obama has significantly reduced global tensions. That alone justifies his winning the Nobel Peace Prize.
Bush was hoping for the ‘Novell Peace Pipe’.
#41 winning it for not being Bush is a low bar.
Congratulations to President Obama for winning the Nobel Peace Prize.
I’m glad to see some country on this planet appreciates President Obama.
Oh please – Shrub isn’t even *AWAKE* yet today.
#43…Bush and his cronies left us on the verge of Armageddon…movement away from the Brink in NOT a “LOW BAR”
What did Obama ever do to win the Nobel prize?
Well we know the sweedish academy is a sham, at least on the Peace part when they gave it to Arafat and the israel PM: what did they ever achieve? they held the truce for few months? Great!!! or they made the smile of Bill Clinton shine through
It’s a crap the way some of these Peace prizes are awarded
yup – it’s possible.
and trying to find a qualified nominator — a.k.a. a law professor that is close to retirement and has tenure…
#46, I dispute this; the closest we came to “Armageddon” was over the recon plane that emergency landed on Chinese soil.
The rest of Bush’s presidency was about low-grade chaos and degeneration and regional conflict. It was disastrous to us, mainly from a budgetary standpoint, but no one was especially likely to start WWIII.
There are people that have been awarded the Nobel Prize for cancer research and cancer has not been cured yet.
Momma’s a twit.
Big shock.
OMG, Mama’s tweeting? Be still, my heart!
While President Obama isn’t perfect (no one is), he had to do a lot with very little — not to mention that we’ve got an entire party, a great proportion of stupid Americans, and the entire media (save 1%) who are so anti-America who all want America to fail to fight against.
It’s nice to have a President to be proud of… for once.
I feel bad for Ms. Steph – your coming cold sounds bad Momma!
I don’t have a tweeter account – I feel behind.
I still have a MySpace page, too.
46.. you show your ignorance… the Nobel Prize is awarded in Oslo, NORWAY…
Hi all. Isn’t it great that the world community said with the prize, “We like peace”? Congrats to our President.
OOPS didn’t mean to cite ME..
its 47…
Someone on another blog wrote “‘Not done anything’? He stood in the mouth of the enemy and reassured him that America stands ready to move the world forward, got Israel and Palestinians leaders to sit down in the same room and talk, he’s dismantling the nuclear arsenal pointed at Russia’s heart, and he’s opened top level dialogue with Iran, all in eight months. WHAT THE F*!% DID YOU WANT HIM TO DO, especially considering the motherf*!%ing mess the Bushies left him???????”
“Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!” – Terry Jeffries
I can’t wait to hear Rush Limbaugh have a heart attack, especially with that crack after the Olympic nomination, Barack Hussein Obama, mmm, mmm mmm.
#50, they were awarded the prize for more specific findings than “cancer research”.
Same here #62. Have they been arrested for treason yet?
Rash Lamebrain just needs to die in a fire.
The republicans move beyond being the party of ‘no’ to the party of STFU:

In regard to the first caller, The right wing has not yet had time to refine their talking points yet on this whole Nobel thing. Give them some time! I know he SAID he voted for Obama, but somehow I find that a little disingenuous!
It would be interesting to know what candidates our Prez beat out for the Nobel. My guess is that it was a pretty thin field. I think Obama will probably deserve a Nobel Prize eventually depending on how things turn out. But there’s a reason they don’t hand out World Series trophies during the 7th-inning stretch of the first game.
60—that’s what people always say when they are jealous.
I have a silly story related to that feeling. My 19-year-old son is in an English composition class. His prof. is an old hippy. So James wrote his first paper comparing Christianity to Buddhism and the prof. gave him an A and made him read it aloud to the class. Yikes!
When James told me I was so proud and I asked him, “So were you proud?” James replied, “No because now everyone hates me!”
Such is life.
hope steph does better tweeting than she does on her facebook page.
Blue Cross Blue Shield is hiking their insurance rates for us Feds, I think that I will use our Internal Option and choose another Insurance Company come Open Season next month, bye bye Blue Cross.
http://www.federaltimes.com/index.php?S=4307259
Good morning, BlogginMooksters!
Gee that Nobel Peace Prize has to blister right wing butts, huh?!
What has Obama done to deserve a Nobel Peace Prize? Well, can you suggest someone who has done quite a bit more?
Sean Hannity is an altar boy for the Irish Republican Army and wants to kill Protestant babies. Why not? Hasn’t he ever marched in a St. Paddy’s Day Parade? Has he ever been to an Ancient Order of the Hibernians event in his life? I’m just sayin’ – he probably wants to kill Protestant babies just like Kevin Jenning “supports” pedophilia because he admires Harry Hay.
i need a plumber! my water main broke under my driveway! is there a Nobel prize in plumbing!?
Dick Lugar
68—Come on! We can’t do that. We can’t belittle the significance of this honor by saying, “Oh they didn’t have many to choose from.” No, no…the significance of his win of the election has captured the imagination of many, not just us.
Hmm… “Norway is especially French.” Does that mean I can now greet people in Paris by saying “God dag! Hvordan har du det?”
74—call the city. Find out if it’s their responsibility or yours.
according to the website…the Nobel Prize is voted on the same day it is announced…they are NOMINATED in Feb. So he has had all this time to deserve it..
#74 yes but it’s more for the size & presentation of the butt-crack than the actual plumbing.
Kind of like a swimsuit competition.
78…they don’t do anything after the meter…
Spiffy, the Conspicuous Christians want to believe that anyone not a rabid right wing “Christian” is automatically “lost”, and that all other religions are for heathens.
It’s why they are such Good Republicans.
Well I have to go get some work done. Will check back later. Have fun!
#74, I think Joe the Plumber will get that prize next year.
Okay, call me a totally clueless occasional live-blogger here … but how do I personalize my avatar here?
what a poke in the eye
Obama “looses” the Olympics but gets the Nobel Peace Prize
rwingers said last week the world hated Obama …. LOL what do you say now???? … rotflol
82—Yup. I sat under the burden of those teachings for 10 years when I was young and impressionable. I have to get that book, “Crazy for God”. Maybe I can read it over Xmas vacation.
The other day Thom Hartmann referred to the Christian zealots as the Christian Taliban. We’ll see….
#75 He changed is name from ‘Penis .38 Caliber’, right?
Ironically, Sen. Lugar is an alumni of Denison University, in our new hometown.
#74 and it’s called the Nobel Piece Prize.
86—I’ll bet the Bushes are really jealous.
#87: Thomm is absolutely correct. Christian findies = a Taliban. The only difference is that they don’t strap bombs to themselves & walk into a mall.
Yeh, where the HELL is Joe the Plumber when you need him? ;->
Amazing the desperation of the Republican Party needed to find dregs to be their role models.
I just HATE that Steph is giving the Dow at every break. I resent that the Dow is treated as some relevant index of my financial health. Those guys are not me!
G’Mornin’ Bloggoes!
Bomb the Moon, get a prize!
There is something brewing, the Right Wing has a new talking point, it’s Leif Erickson Day, the President declared it, a little Quid Pro Quo there?
http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Presidential-Proclamation-Leif-Erikson-Day/
Here is the headline from ThownHall.com
>> “Mockery: Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize”
Why do conservatives hate America?
Morning Bloggos.
Isn’t Rep DeLauro married to a guy that used to work for Monsanto…think he is a consultant for them now. Monsanto is working on genetically altered seed, etc.
“So, who is eligible for the PO?”
Umm, static, static, competition, bad ins. cos., static static, ummm…
96: simple – conservatives are LOSERS.
2 — She did, and at first I was shocked, but as she explained it, I kind of started to agree with her. I remember thinking while he was talking — “Who is this for???” And I think Randi is right, that was for Keith.
2013 – the first people are eligible.
the rest – 2018.
dang, we need to hurry up and pass this bill!
competition might force prices down by 2020 – wah-hoo!
Once again the question goes unasked, “what about people who hate their insurance?” If most people liked their insurance we wouldn’t be having this problem. We are here because people hate their insurance.
94: It reminds me of the billboards at baseball parks where, if a player hits it during a game, he gets a prize.
yay! – my fav Jim Ward SMS liner!
102 — I think the answer is what you think it is. Lose your job, then you can opt for different insurance…
cannot wait to hear the rwnj go at it…
down with america! hurrah we didn’t get the olympics! boo we got the nbpp!!!
Monsanto genetic research is fine, but they want to make it unlawful for people to keep seed.. Corporate greed personified, you want an enforced monopoly on something as fundamental as crop seed..
#101 – that is my only disappointment with the bill. It’s pretty far into the future for some folks and the insurance companies in the mean time will contintue to prosper, gouge and rip people off. They don’t give their customers time to adjust to the increase in premiums – they just raise them. They’ve ridden the gravy train long enough.
Open Season next month, As a Federal Employee, I’m dumping Blue Cross Blue Shield like a bad date. the increasing their rates to $44.33 per month
People who have no complaints about their insurance frequently have never had a claim, nor are they aware of exactly what it is costing them..
109 — has anybody heard anything about an insurance strike?
#107 I thought that patenting natural products was illegal.
#109 – 44.33? seriously??
try a BCBS POS contract in NY – $800 a month
#109: how do you have an insurance strike?
Derrick, don’t you mean increasing BY $44.33 per month? If you are getting health insurance for $44.33 a month, it is either no good or the least expensive on the planet.
1. As a former Republican, I am proud that Obama has won the Nobel Prize
#107- I think there was an email that went around about that but it had some misinformation about it. However, that being said I absolutely do not trust a chemical company that is getting involved with food production.
Ivan,
Yes, the conservatives are, quite literally, losers.
They had TOTAL CONTROL of every branch of government but spectacularly failed at everything they put their hand to.
Yet, they honestly don’t seem to understand what a huge failure conservatism has been.
Ron
Well, the conservatives actually did suceed at something… making rich people A LOT richer — rigged markets, transferring of our tax dollars, etc. And maybe that was the only real agenda item for conservative leaders.
114 — organize, educate, and everybody in the strike stops paying their premiums.
mama has twatted??
Cindy,
When did you become a “former” Republican?
C’mon, Jim. It’s like a throwback to 1950′s party-line telephones.
I don’t particularly like Twitter and prefer this forum so much better. But maybe I’ll have to head over there.
Jim – we love you no matter if you Tweet or not
Nick, natural products is where the distinction comes in. The genetically altered product is not considered to be natural. But the bitch here for me is that Monsanto tried to make it illegal to possess SEED after planting (not theirs, ANY!), that’s how goddam greedy they are.
The only reason that I started tweeting is that shops & artists tell about specials, sales &c before their email lists.
Neil Gaiman, Warren Ellis, Amanda Palmer, Emilie Autumn)
#123 – I’ve joined myspace, facebook and linkedin but it’s a lot of time each day to go each one and update, change, check, etc.
#125: Ah got it. So that’s why Activia yoghurt can patent their Bifibulus Regularis (sp).
Monsanto is really pushing the stupid cart aren’t they.
highway to hell? — need “hand basket to hell” liner…
119 — crickets…
okay right wingers essplode
Stunning Twitter Reaction: Many Call For Obama To Turn Down Nobel Prize
Google “monsanto, genetic seeds patent” and a ton of articles come up about it. It’s scary.
What would anyone WANT to have sex w/Dr Phil. Can you imagine his voice: “I’m a master of sex-ology. I don’t think that you can put up with my terrific onslought. Uh Uh.”
117: I saw a documentary last year which specifically referred to Monsanto trying to get held over seed outlawed.. They also talked about a riot in South America when a corporation tried to control all ground water rights..
Why would Reagan get a NPP?
Course they gave one to Kissinger didn’t they?
Teddy Roosevelt was a big time warmonger.
135 — he tore down the Berlin wall, brick by brick by hand by himself
Didn’t Kissinger get the prize for the Vietnam peace negotiations? he was a Republican.
#136, but specifically for the accords that ended the Vietnam war, not his “body of work” for peace (which was pretty thin).
#138: Reagan Smash! Reagan smash wall!! Get Commies!
138 — He was kinda like Pecos Bill in that way
Nick,
I Googled it — yes Kissinger got it.
How can conservative media-people be so dumb and not know that Republicans have been awarded the prize?
I don’t expect average people to know that kind of stuff, but these commentators talk about politics for a living!
There’s a great movie called the corporation and they do a personality analysis of some corporations and their traits, how they operate in the world, conduct business and the laws they ignore. Many corporations fit the profile of a psychotic personality, they are amoral and totally without regret about their actions in the world and the damage they cause.
Happy Leif Erickson day!

Republicans favor war because it generates defense spending, and because THEIR kiddies are not going to be the cannon fodder for it.
It always comes back to massive GREED. Just look at the pasty white fat quaking oily skinned wax people in Congress nowadays. These bastards are consumed by their own greed – nothing is too good for THEM, meanwhile screw the people they are purported to represent.
#141 – Reagan took a lot of credit for the Berlin wall.
#147, ah, but did he DESERVE it?
Republicans favor war because it generates defense spending, and because THEIR kiddies are not going to be the cannon fodder for it.
So funny that each side thinks the other is only the elites. The vast majority of Republicans are just as working class as Democrats, and if they perceive the need are perfectly willing to let their children be sent overseas to defend this country. Let’s not be disingenuous. It doesn’t help us wind hearts & minds.
I have mixed feeling about “super seeds” — because I’ve lived where increase rice productivity has really helped the average person.
The kind of massive human die-offs of 75 years ago aren’t happening because of better yields.
Yet, I understand the bigger issues and don’t like those either.
Good morning Fridaylovinbloggers!
Halfway to Sparta? Where were you all yesterday – what’s going on?
#146 – the ultimate repug wet dream is for the rest of us to serve the higher echelon of the rich and powerful. In their eyes, we are here to be manipulated, controled and used.
#147 Oh yes I realise that and the RW keep bringing it up as the west is so much better example even though it really wasn’t.
#141 Hmmm, if the GOP can re-animate him, a Zombie Reagan could win the Nobel, I suppose.
#151 I was in hospital so no blogging for me yesterday.
#149, agreed. The rank-and-file Republicans do know that their kids will be sent to war, but think it’s necessary because they see scary enemies everywhere, and apply schoolyard logic to the international scheme (if we aren’t bullies ourselves, we will look weak and will be bullied).
#154 yeah on opposite day.
shaf, Reagan WAS a zombie, particularly during his second term.
>> PeterW the Robobagpiper says:
>> #147, ah, but did he DESERVE it?
I believe he played a part but the conservatives want us to believe he single-handedly defeated communism.
Only history idiots could believe that. For starters, Reagan wasn’t even the only Cold War president!
No he did not deserve it but it’s part of the myth of Reagan and what a “great man” he was. Meanwhile back at home he had to raise taxes after he said he wouldn’t, ignored the spread of AIDS for 6 years, busted unions and we still will never know how much he actually DID know about the Iran Contra affair.
151 — Hiya, PJ!!
We did make Sparta yesterday, if you’ll notice. It was a slow day, I wasn’t on for much of it, and willo be dropping out soon today, but we did have a WIN!!! day.
ROTARY phone?
#158 Point taken.
Oh dear, what will Bill O’Reilly do w/o Miley?

I’ll give Glenn Beck something to cry about..
Is it me or does Beck look like he is wearing a WW2 German uniform on his new book????
TV signals from West Germany had alot more influence on the Berlin Wall than Ronnie Ray-Gun’s stupid challenge to the Soviets.
gotta love NIN and Beck – perfect
For those around the Boston, MA area…the cover of the Phoenix: “Glenn Beck: the latest right-wing menace. Are Fox fans pigeons for his dark brand of Mormonism?”
177 — Trent Reznor might disagree…
The NPP guy sounds like Mr. Tudball from the Carol Burnett show.
Excellent work, Shane-O!
Dang, Shane-O! Quick work. :golf clap:
Obama won the prize just for winning the election. Taking the Rethugs out of power is a major step toward peace. Now that I think about it, it makes sense.
I think Obama’s a negotiator, debater, peace broker. He’s not coming in with a bat to get what he wants done.
183 — I kinda agree with this. I think he won for not being W.
#8 & #14: Three Moons Over Milford (2005)

9 months in. the baby is due.
Everybody just CHILL OUT!! He’s got this!
#183 Agreed. The Countdown to Armageddon clock was rolled back a few more minutes away from midnight with the 2008 election. So, in effect, we (Americans) earned the Peace Price. Hooray for us!
#182 & 182 – thank you — got the audio at 5:30 — yikes! Felt bad doing a negative-Obama kinda thing – but c’mon – my first reaction was “for what”?
Maybe the Prize might sway the decision on the 40,000 more troops…?
and WF annaounced that they’re raising their credit card APR by 3%.
Wow. Chris and Jim have turned into Kyles!
Who would have thunk it?
#185 – Yup. There was such joy at getting the idiots out of the WH that the world heaved a great sigh of relief. Premature or not, he has a vision for a better world, is willing to put himself on the line and speak out.
Shane-O, always my hero! Great work. Again.
#193- Amen to that!
Concentrating on Al Qaeda sounds like a good plan.
The Taliban is the only viable political movement among the Pashtun; excluding them, sadly, means excluding the largest ethnic group in Afghanistan.
#192: no I understand. He can come across as underwhelming when he’s just doing the day-to-day. He’s not an overhyper asshat like the rw. He doesn’t pump up the rank & file with lies.
#155: In the hospital? You’ll have to do better than that!
That doesn’t mean that I’m not behind the big O 100%.
Either way, I love that it has blown the GOP out of the water with all their hate talk. HA HA!
He’s a Barackstar!
Sparta by 8 pdt?
“No foreign country has ever conquered Afghanistan” has been said for years.
But is this still true?
I think you can argue that the Saudi Whabbists succeeded.
#2: I didn’t see the Olberman thing. Everyone who saw it said they loved it, loved it, loved it. Until Randi Rhodes came on, and guess what? She hated it, hated it, hated it. Interesting.
190: I’m kinda looking at it as a motivational tool. “Here’s the world’s most prestigious humanitarian award, now let’s see you earn it.”
#197 Yeah, let’s hear it for quiet, competent leadership. What a nice change after 8 years of Bush!
Maybe some RWer will win this year’s Nobel Piece-Of-Work Prize?

#204 – what was the Olbmerman/Rhodes thing? Had a dinner party last night and did not watch MSNBC.
>> PeterW the Robobagpiper says:

Maybe — as long as Obama and Americans understand that defeated Al Quaeda in Afghanistan or even Pakistan is not defeating them.
Al Quada is linked to no country.
Sent to Countdown:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I watched Countdown yesterday (I have to wait for it to be available as a podcast because I do not live in the US) and was very moved by the special comment on healthcare.
I could not donate a lot because I receive disability at present. When I was in my late twenties (I am 50 years old now) I had been suffering from back pains and one day my legs stopped working. I was rushed to hospital (in Bonn, the Venusberg university clinic) and two days later I was under the knife for two spine operations (my discs had imploded into my spinal column). I suffer from Morbus Scheuerman and Scoliosis and Spinal Arthritis. So when Mr. Olbermann was speaking about pain I think I can honestly say that I have that area well and truly cornered – and after the operations sewn up.
If I had been in America the chances are that I would still be paying for the operation – well over two decades later. Instead I have been able to work until I literally could not move – I was confined to bed for over a year and a half and have only been back on my feet for the past few months.
I am lucky inasmuch as I am a techie (we used to go by the name of “hacker” until the completely moronic media demonised the term by mistaking it with “cracker”) and so I could and can keep my mental acuity sharp and lucid. As a techie (in the past I was Senior German Engineer for Veritas Enterprise Tech-Support) I would offer my services, at no cost, for the purposes of technical support for the folks at the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FREE CLINICS which would probably save them more money than I could ever possibly donate.
I can be contacted via Skype “Nec_V20″ or via Google Talk “Nec.V20″ so I can talk them through any technical issues (crashes) at no cost to the association.
I have a number of American friends and although for the main part US politics are probably the funniest reality show ever; my laughter has dried up with regard to the horrendous plight US citizens face in an area which I personally have come to take for granted, namely health care.
On another note, I am now living in the UK and have been the recipient of the so-called “catastrophic socialised medicine” which has gotten me back on my feet again – something which would probably not have been possible in the States due to my “pre-existing condition”.
Sincerely
P.S. to show that this is not a hoax e-mail, here is the record of my donation to the association:

Ron BUT that is a movement WITHIN Islam .. and it’s an ideology .. it’s not something that came from without
yeah but Chris I remember when you had only 300 too
Last I checked, I have one follower, and I’ve never posted a tweet.

Yes and no.
Afghanis definitely consider the Saudi Wahabbists as foreigners. In fact, I’ve heard them call them “foreigners” is Pashtu. (but I forget the word)
I’ve also seen those Arab guys walking around Pakistan and they do stick-out. (Not as bad as me! But they are different.)
We don’t have to become Canadian.
I like the theory that this is just Europe’s way of giving GWB the finger. They really don’t like him.
So this whole peace prize thing – just another part of Bush’s legacy.

Congrats President Obama!! The Associated Press: Common misconceptions about the Nobel Peace Prize http://bit.ly/grGR4
From the article:
_ Myth: The prize is awarded to recognize efforts for peace, human rights and democracy only after they have proven successful.
More often, the prize is awarded to encourage those who receive it to see the effort through, sometimes at critical moments.

#215 I have 7 followers and I’ve never tweeted (I just use it to follow others).
Liberals feel allied with George Will about Afghanistan but not me.
Yes, he wants to get-out but he also wants us to stay off shore and bomb them remotely! What a recipe for disaster!
Those drones seem to hit ten wedding parties for every one legitimate target.
Here is my strategy for winning the war on terror: Start minding our own business.
Seriously, that’s the main thing Muslims want America to do.

Afghanistan would make a great parkiing lot for our oil fields in Iran
#226 – good point. The obligation to follow through and earn the honor is probably the best impetus for peace.
#230, do you at least know your followers? I have no idea who mine is.

I created my twitter account when I thought I could get it to reflect my facebook status message. Apparently the app works the other way around, and I’ve never used twitter, and have only logged onto it three times since creating the account.
Peace all! Maybe one reason for the shock over Obama and Nobel Prize is that we’re not as familiar with his work overseas because THE US MEDIA DOESN’T COVER IT!
The predator drones are what the Taliban is most afraid of – if anyone is interested.

#216, Deb,
I know, this is one of the things that really resonated with me when Keith was talking about his father and other people’s fathers towards the end.
It made me think, “What right do I have to be walking around and having a good quality of life, when there are millions just as deserving as I condemned to pain, misery and even death”.
I have to admit though, that I am thoroughly gob-smacked that something which should be a no-brainer is so demonised in the States.
#246 I have to admit though, that I am thoroughly gob-smacked that something which should be a no-brainer is so demonised in the States.
No brainer? Demonised? Sounds like the GOP to me.
I have to admit though, that I am thoroughly gob-smacked that something which should be a no-brainer is so demonised in the States.
#245 – it’s only because of the powers that be. The reality is that most Americans know it has to be changed, but our insurance industry is extremely powerful and has a grip on way too many congress people.
Deb, the GWB Memorial Library had three books, and one of them was not even colored in yet..
There should be a Nobel Prize for douchbaggery so Fox News wouldn’t feel slighted.

news flash .. most of the Muslim world gets really annoyed with Saudi arrogance… they won’t readily admit it but I’ve heard it … BUT it was the wahabis that helps fight the Soviets, it was the wahabis that set up their madrasa that educated the orphans of the soviet war.. along with the help the wahabi saudis gave their ideology went with them … it was Islamic in nature therefore it was a movement within and not treated the same way as ideologies (and people) that come from without

I wouldn’t call Joe Wilsons outburst an acomplishment. It was a big turn on though for the repugs.
One thing the insurance industry hasn’t counted on and that’s all the people that they have hurt, denied, cut off and let die. There are a lot of them and they and their families have stories to tell….

RNC Hates America, DNC Call Them On It Hotlist
by BarbinMD
Fri Oct 09, 2009 at 10:50:19 AM EDT
The Republican National Committee, still giddy over America losing its bid to host the 2016 Olympics, had this to say about the President of the United States being award the Nobel Peace Prize:
Actually, the real question Americans are asking is, “Why do Republicans hate America?” Or as the Democratic National Committee put it:
Spot on.
“what a niggardly economic capacity ! kenya believe this obama ?”
The RNC can take a flying leap at a rolling doughnut..
I guess if one gay gay can judge Miss America .. another gay guy can
#266: Hah!!
Limbaugh? Judging Miss America? Planet Hollywood? Oh, how the pageant has fallen!
Surely they mean the “Young Miss Dominican Republic” contest?
29: “Well, that’s just asking for a psycho serial killer.”
take a number, please.
Wow, what an image. Rush Limbaugh judging skinny women in swimsuites.
Gonna have to give Rush a drool-cup.
#265 – its about time they got called on their stuff. Nothing like being hoisted on their own petard!!
I never thought I’d miss the days when Miss America was broadcast from Atlantic City and hosted by Bert Parks.
Rush gettin a bj.
Oh wrong! So horribly wrong!!!!
Rush is going to be a judge on Miss America? I sense a fourth (fifth?) Mrs. Limbaugh.
Next year, the Miss America Pageant will be held at a Chuck E. Cheese and judged by Glenn Beck.

What happened to Oliver?
What about *TOM* Robbins? How come nobody ever interviews him?
Fred heard about the neuticles you bought him Steph.
see- ðere’s a couple of reforms to English orθograφy we can all agree on, I θink…
Cindy,
I don’t think you and I have much to disagree on.
I certainly agree with you that the Saudis and Wahhabis are very different than the British, Russians and now Americans.
I’m not even saying… I’m just asking.. is really accurate to say that no foreign power has ever “won” in Afganistan?
From my perspective, it seems like the Saudi Wahhabis did (until we invaded!)
They where clearly foreigners and they “won” with religious demagoguery and lots of money more than weapons. But it still seems to me that they accomplished what the British and Russians failed to do.
And we Americans can learn from the Saudis, if we are serious about “winning” there. If we are occupiers there, like the British and Russians, we will surely have the same fate. But can we occupy like the Saudis did?
I don’t think so, honestly.
I think we need to get out militarily. We can support grass-roots development efforts but I think we are cooked there as a military presence.
I can’t really argue any further on this — that’s about as much as I have on the subject.
Here’s an idea, we should recruit Bill Clinton to run against Blanche Lincoln for the US Senate seat in Arkansas.
Dueling Terry Jeffrey and Dino! LOL!!!
#321 Mama said last week, that during a family crisis, she needed to give Oliver back to Gentle Giants Rescue. They placed him in a new home and he’s doing well.
It’s like a fart meeting, with mensa jokes!

Speaking of Tim Robbins: Deep in the recesses of my subconscious, Bob Roberts has been rewriting an old Pink Floyd song:

Thom Hartmann doesn’t strike me as intelligent as Steph and the Mooks think he is.
Certainly, he is smarter than most talk radio people (except Racheal Maddow and a short list of others.)
Honestly, John Fugelsang seems as smart as Thom Hartmann to me. He doesn’t play-it-up as much, but he seems damn smart. So does Hal Sparks.
#322 Tim Robbins makes movies (sit and stare). Tom Robbins writes book. Books are harder, you have to learn to read and then you have to sit and read and think. I think too many Americans don’t read for fun, but they still watch movies.
Teddy’s idea of “PRogressive” was not the same as yours or mine. His idea was very race-based.
that explains the mystery stain on Steph’s shirt
Yeah San Diego!!
Well, bye E Mooks
340 — yeah, and that Even Cowgirls Get The Blues movie was more than a little disappointing. But I still think Tom Robbins would be a great subject for an interview on current events.
I’d personally point FauxNews and the Repugs in the direction of the Phuque Queue if I were Obama.
Our Nobel Peace Prize winning President is addressing the nation.
Caller, Obama is NOT the sine qua non of liberalism.
160: “….and we still will never know how much he actually DID know about the Iran Contra affair….”
most telling is what reagan DIDNT know about iran-contra:
“contra que”.
the endless war paradigm historically has a sort of endless fanbase.
339. Thom Hartmann is a walking history book. Few have his depth of knowledge.
#322: “What about *TOM* Robbins? How come nobody ever interviews him?”
Or Tom Robinson?
351 — Or Billy Mumy (will robinson)
Ha! ACORN!
Obama is showing a lot of humility in this speech. Good on him.
175: “Is it me or does Beck look like he is wearing a WW2 German uniform on his new book????”
just beck being beck.
ozzy osbourne was the same way in that reality show.
“time to put aside the theatrics and just be me.”
Mr President! Fist bump!
“we” not “i”. very nice.
176: “TV signals from West Germany had alot more influence on the Berlin Wall than Ronnie Ray-Gun’s stupid challenge to the Soviets.”
correct – IF – by “more than”, you mean “some”.
Wow, advocating tolerance, patience and openness. How “liberal”. Thank God.
209: “…see my special comment at #100…”
thanks, but i’d rather celebrate that particular birthday with marathon sex.
Some of you may have forgotten that Ronnie had to desperately make up for his Secretary of State Haig saying that he though a tactical nuclear war in Europe was feasible.

any way
I’m not even saying… I’m just asking.. is really accurate to say that no foreign power has ever “won” in Afganistan?
From my perspective, it seems like the Saudi Wahhabis did (until we invaded!)
I think it is accurate because one is actual bodies on the ground and the other is an ideology. If you wanted to draw that brush over it you might as well say Islam itself
They where clearly foreigners and they “won” with religious demagoguery and lots of money more than weapons. But it still seems to me that they accomplished what the British and Russians failed to do.
Only because it was a ideology in Islam, something already there.
And we Americans can learn from the Saudis, if we are serious about “winning” there. If we are occupiers there, like the British and Russians, we will surely have the same fate. But can we occupy like the Saudis did?
Here is where I disagree with you. It wasn’t the saudis, it wasn’t bodies on the ground.. it was the ideology whose underpinnings are/were already there.
261: “Jeb Bush, a distant cousin of the Clampetts.”
i’m happy for him, and i’ma let him finish,
but ian anderson is the greatest distant relation to the clampetts of all time.
263: “If someone assf*cks me for 8 years I don’t really think that I’m going to forget it.”
oh, no you dont. i’m not falling for that line again.

That “On Top Magazine” spokesmodel sure has a husky voice.
322: “What about *TOM* Robbins? How come nobody ever interviews him?”
it’s the stupid kermit pajamas. they induce fear and dread.
OBAMA: “I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many men and women who have won ( paraphrase)….surprised and deeply humbled…will accept this as a call to action.”
Yeah, as someone who thinks this was too soon for him, that he feels the same way, and made sure to say so, moved me a lot.

30+ Reasons Obama deserves the Nobel Peace Prize
UPDATE: Either sensing an opening to cast the Republican Party as actively rooting against America, or just fed up with the stream of negative responses, the Democratic National Committee put out an unusually blunt statement Friday morning. The gist: that the GOP sides with the terrorists.
“The Republican Party has thrown in its lot with the terrorists — the Taliban and Hamas this morning — in criticizing the President for receiving the Nobel Peace prize,” wrote DNC Communications Director Brad Woodhouse. “Republicans cheered when America failed to land the Olympics and now they are criticizing the President of the United States for receiving the Nobel Peace prize — an award he did not seek but that is nonetheless an honor in which every American can take great pride — unless of course you are the Republican Party. The 2009 version of the Republican Party has no boundaries, has no shame and has proved that they will put politics above patriotism at every turn. It’s no wonder only 20 percent of Americans admit to being Republicans anymore – it’s an embarrassing label to claim.”
