Of course, my immediate response was YAY! but Rush & Glenn Beck & co. are gonna have a field day with Barack's Nobel. More proof of Black-Power Commie Hitler selling us out overseas. That said, it's a great thing in and of itself and in that it will put pressure on the prez to keep us out of war with Iran, to end war with Afghanistan, etc. etc. etc. But it's not gonna win the prez any good will among the haters (ie. the sick and toothless in America who die of curable diseases but don't want govt. dental or health care. Because, again, as ever, they're gonna get rich on lottery tix and get to buy the best health care in the world, American health care.) God I'm dark today. About an hour ago, I ran into someone and I immediately said, "Hey, did you hear about the president?" His face dropped, and I quickly explained that no he hadn't been shot . . . . Another friend recently said to me that if Barack is shot, that's it, he's leaving this country. Wouldn't it be nice if there weren't so many of us either wanting the president to be shot or fearing it?

Okay, many of you, once again, have seen this, or heard about it, or read the blog Fourfour, but for those of you who haven't (ie, me until a week ago), this is great stuff, as is the blog. Or, it's horrible stuff. Maybe both?
