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. Hush, it's more fun when the REPs don't know that.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 09:52 AM) dude if you were paying ANY attention during the election, you'd know Obamania did exist. People voted for him without ANY knowledge of ANY of his policies. Hope they said. He's hopeful. And yes, I know that this sort of thing happens in many elections, but it doesn't get people who have NEVER voted before to register. That part was new. In any case, yes I know there has been criticism, but there has always been this air of "he can fix everything" about Obama. And one other thing is that he seems to like being a celebrity president and that adds to the "Obamania". I mean, commercials with him and George Lopez? Come the f*** on. How bout spend that day working on health care instead of shooting a dumbass commercial for a bad comedian. So we need someone who people will not follow to lead? How does that work?

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 09:50 AM) No you are right, of awful things that could happen to a person, i've consistently stated that getting a 1.3 million dollar award along with a prestigious medal is among the top. I pray to GOD EVERYDAY to not let me win the nobel peace prize.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 09:46 AM) Are you serious? Do you not realize that half the s*** Obama gets is for being a narcissist, for being the world-perceived Messiah? He got nominated for the Nobel Prize TWO WEEKS INTO HIS ADMINISTRATION. For doing what exactly? 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. These are the questions that are going to be asked for the next couple of months. People are going to start examining the man, and his accomplishments and when that happens they just might realize that, yeah, this emperor has a Nobel peace prize, but he also has not clothes I guess I missed the part where only his work while President was considered.

QUOTE (Soxy @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 08:43 AM) Muslims don't reject the Old Testament. That's why those three are called the "religions of the book." They are descended from Abraham like jews and christians. True. My mistake. I was thinking politics in one case and scripture in another.

When one party stands up for what they believe and fight tooth and nail against the other party, I respect and applaud those efforts. (GOP and health care for a recent example) But when one party attacks instead of applauds or even should be sitting quietly, that's just wrong. One rabid republican just posted it should be called the Nobel piece of s*** prize on my fb.

Earlier today we crashed a satellite into the moon in an attempt to find ice. Pretty cool, I watched it live

Certainly will make for an entertaining day

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 08:33 AM) Why not? The big reason the left wingers gave us is that the United States image in the world has been completely destroyed beyond anything that Obama could do to fix it. But now that is good enough for a Nobel Peace prize? Don't get me wrong, he has tried in a few places, but when you look at the history of what people have accomplished to win it, I can see how it would be questioned. Let me put it this way, if Obama had succeeded anyone but Bush, we probably would have won the Olympics, and not gotten the Nobel prize. Both of these feel like BS international politics, and they really shouldn't. It totally cheapens the idea and concept behind both of these ideals. If both of these are going to become vindictive tools, the are both quickly on their way to becoming irrelevant. So you are saying that Obama being awarded the prize, cheapens it? Or only depending on the reasons behind it?

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 08:28 AM) unanimously. Correct.

We should also remember this was decided by a panel of 5 people in Norway, albeit from a wide political spectrum.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 08:21 AM) Forget it, he's rolling... And I should have added, the Dems would do the same thing. I don't like propaganda, and my impression of Moore's films are at about the same level as 1950s era Cold War propaganda films. So I will stay away.

A couple laughs, a couple sighs. It's tough to screw up too much with one liners. The fan in me circa 1980 would look at this line up and think about 2010. The K-Dubya era fan in me thinks, why bother? There's going to be some major changes in a third place team.

QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 08:08 AM) not mine: ""Much better than the days when news of some unexpected international recognition for our president meant that somebody threw a shoe at him.""

And the moon returns to the news. Will we find ice?

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 8, 2009 -> 08:29 PM) Coincidence??? I think not. I.K.B.I.C® nice.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 07:57 AM) I don't think he meant ALL agree, I think he meant the people in here who can think for themselves. And again, I will say it isn't going to happen. Partisan opinions will start flying. And I agree this was as much about Bush as it was about Obama.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 07:53 AM) Hopefully we can all just agree that it was completely unexpected and premature. Not going to happen. Hordes of REPs are figuring out how to mitigate the "damage" and use it to make him look bad. Meanwhile hordes of DEM strategists are figuring out how to maximize the award to their advantage.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Oct 8, 2009 -> 07:25 PM) if he does it, puts it in his movie and writes it off as a business expense, what else can it be? Like I said, the GOP is awesome at this. If he donates anonymously, Kap and SS can slam him for being a hypocrite. If he lets people know, Alpha can slam him for using it as a publicity stunt. Awesome No matter what the poor bastard did, he was wrong

Of course as Americans we must trash this as much as possible. I can't wait for the right wing attacks.

Then if we agree that each religions or countries symbols could be insults to another person's religion or nationality, does that mean we should ban all symbols, or learn a little tolerance and allow them?

When I started hitting clubs in the city, circa 1983, Division St was just starting to die a little.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Oct 8, 2009 -> 05:53 PM) Just remember folks...the sequel is never as good as the original. nicely played sir. Remember that when your messiah comes.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 8, 2009 -> 04:53 PM) Thank you to whomever corrected the spelling gaffs. I made 'em and I fixed the one I saw, somebody else must have fixed any others. Damn, I could I misspell Buehrle? It is even saved in my spell check correctly.

I had no idea how many insulted Jews were walking around the US with all our Christian Churches.
