QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 03:41 PM) My heart weeps. Seriously, my brother and I get in fights over D-Wise all the time. I say he's a career minor leaguer and 25th guy at best, yet my brother wants him starting over the $60 million dollar man. Is Dewayne your brother?

Yikes. I am not big on LT. Think he's done.

I'm sure the radical right will still find some fault in this: Obama To Donate Peace Prize Money

Good stuff Balta.

So weird that Limbaugh wants to own them. Maybe he thinks they'll be his slaves.

QUOTE (Tex @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 10:44 AM) And say hello to the hookers working North Avenue on your walk. You obviously haven't been back to that neighborhood in a LONG time.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 11:17 AM) No doubt about it counts for alot. I just think of Nobel Peace Prize should be awarded to those who have had significant impact. Rosa Parks made an impact. Jackie Robinson as well. I see what Obama did more as a symbol that the racial tensions in America (while still extant and real) have diminshed to a point where the entire nation should be proud. I see his election as more of a symbol of social change, rather than on that has brought about social change. His election is historical an undoubtedly significant, but I just am not certain it fulfills the qualifications of what I define as someone who would receive the prize You're only considering his impact on US society. This is a global award.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 10:12 AM) Well health care once again is going to take a back seat I didn't realize the President was responsible for creating the bill and approving it.

Forget this thread today. Everyone's in the Nobel thread.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 09:58 AM) guys i'm definitely not a "see the world in black+white" kind of person, I just get a little turned off when I see Obama milking his celebrity. Nobody else feels the same way? No. Why not take advantage of an obvious strength?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 09:55 AM) BTW, that George Lopez commercial is from the '08 campaign. I was really confused at first, too. That's no excuse. Ever since he announced that he was running for President he should have been working 24/7, 365 on making America better. No exceptions.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 09:52 AM) How bout spend that day working on health care instead of shooting a dumbass commercial for a bad comedian. Or he could take long ass vacations all the time like our last leader.

QUOTE (Tex @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 09:49 AM) I guess I missed the part where only his work while President was considered.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 09:46 AM) For doing what exactly? via Ackermann: QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 09:46 AM) In the past few years, this award has been given to Jimmy Carter for speaking out against George W. Bush, now, it’s been given to Obama for not BEING Him. Nice hyperbole. QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 09:46 AM) People are going to start examining the man, and his accomplishments So after 10 months no one was examining the man and his accomplishments but now they will. *rolls eyes*

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 09:39 AM) This is one of the worse things that could have happened for Obama. It completly reinforces the idea that he's famous for being "Not Bush." You make no sense.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 09:26 AM) I understand, BS, and there's also a "We can talk s*** about our city, but don't you dare talk s*** about our city" factor Precisely. And I honestly thought we would win it.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Oct 8, 2009 -> 11:50 PM) Very. Dwight kicking the girl in the face got a big laugh out of me, but it was few and far between aside from that. They should have devoted the 1st half hour to the pre wedding and wedding itself. The 2nd half should have been the reception which could have had a ton of potential.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 09:23 AM) You are right, I was wrong here. I was remembering your posts BEFORE the vote, not after. My bad. As much as I was rallying against us getting the bid my initial reaction was sadness. I guess deep down I really wanted them and was just annoyed with Daley and his corruption.

He should have won for merely keeping Palin out of the White House. That alone could have been cataclysmic.

Yo, Obama, Imma let you finish....

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 09:09 AM) Way to wait a whole 2 minutes. Good job! Because it never happened. I'll give you 2 decades to find a post where I laughed after we lost.
