I crashed on the couch last night because the Sox game was on the west coast. When I woke up this morning and signed in AIM the headline was that President Obama had won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Being a normal and sane man I assumed I was still groggy or maybe still asleep and then turned on the TV.
Apparently not being George Bush counts for a lot. From what I’ve seen on Morning Joe even the White House seems a bit embarrassed.
I was always under the impression that you actually had to DO something to win the prize.
That makes three four US presidents. Teddy Rossevelt for his mediation in the Russian Japan war. Woodrow Wilson for the League of Nations, Jimmy Carter for Camp David and President Obama for… for… not being George Bush.
I guess we should be watching for international youtube videos of kids singing now.
I can’t think of anything that can illustrate the bankruptcy of the prize than this award. I’ve gotta run my kid to school but I’ll do some blog round up later.
Update: Forgot about Wilson. I still haven’t checked any other blogs but I can’t wait to do that.
Update 2: I must say this IS deserved. No US president since the Bush administration has not been more not George Bush than Barack Obama.
Judith: They’ve arrested Brian!

MSNBC what did we learn:
8:59 a.m. Mika called it a very strong message that’ll show em!
As for Russia, they still see Iran as critical to their economic health, so don’t expect much from Moscow. Earlier this week, they sounded fatalistic about new sanctions, and some wondered if Obama hadn’t worked out some quid pro quo based on the shift on missile defense in eastern Europe. Instead, it looks as though Obama may have shared this intel with Russia, which is probably how Iran found out about it.
Back before I was proudly Banned from lgf for daring to defend Rush Limbaugh, Honorary Lizardoid I included the strings Mika Brzezinski bikini pics, Charles Johnson bikini pics and Robert Stacy McCain Bikini pics (this was during the Hannah Giles bikini pics days) and I mentioned that while I was getting some traffic from the Hannah Giles links, I got the same number of hit from the Mika Brzezinski bikini pics as I did from the Charles Johnson or Robert Stacy McCain strings, that is nearly 1.
Now that I’ve had time to think about it I was being unfair to Mika, one should compare apples to apples. Robert Stacy and Charles are bloggers and Mika is a television personality.
So we are going to hold a little contest. Let’s see how Mika can do against the rest of the crew from morning joe.
Are people more interested in Mika Brzezinski bikini pics, or Joe Scarborough Speedo pics? Can either compare with the public’s need for Willie Geist Speedo pics or even to International Superstar Erin Burnett Bikini Pics? Will Savannah Guthrie Bikini pics rule the roost or will they all be helpless against the juggernaut of Mike Barnicle Speedo pics fans? (Hey the guy has 6 kids he must be doing SOMETHING right).
I will check the daily hit totals for the strings via searches or wordpress tags and will e-mail the results to Willie Geist for his “News you can’t use” segment. Maybe they will use them, more likely they’ll have a restraining order put on me but at least their too late to get me proudly banned from Little Green Footballs.
He also spoke with Liz Shaw, a conservative Christian community organizer who says the mockery of her profession at the Republican National Convention led her to organize for Barack Obama. But Matthew Vadum of the Capital Research Center reminds viewers that community organizing of any kind is a gateway-job into crack dealing. Watch:
