I’m so relieved the talking head shows will be able to ignore trivia like health care reform this weekend and focus on something really important, whether or not Obama deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.

Did you hear: Nobel committee considering engraving all future Nobel trophys with the likeness of President Obama? Krauthammer will no doubt be on Press The Meat to both peddle this stunning development, and opine.
Evening, Eureka.

Seems like the Talking Heads Serve Entropy?

Hiya rat and newt,
Thrilled about our Prez getting the Nobel.

Did you hear: Nobel committee considering engraving all future Nobel trophys with the likeness of President Obama?

Snark or are the talking heads going to explode on tv?

I’ve been disappointed by President Obama to date but I think we should start trying to get him added to Mount Rushmore, just because it will piss off conservatives so much.

Hi Christine, left a reply to your last comment downstairs.

If you’re up to reading something that’s far longer than it should have been, please take a look at my most recent diary post at http://seminal.firedoglake.com/diary/8879

Sorry it’s so long, but I think it finally gets to a point!

Oh well, it makes us appreciate Bill Moyers even more.

Hi Chris, I am as well.
Reading the threads this morning was a dizzying likeness of RedState.

Hello ES and Newt and Knoxville and fellow FDLers..

I just stumbled on a news item you’ll like I hope, in light of the lipflap from the Nobel naysayers.. (And truth be told, I (um) also posted this on Suzanne’s thread..

Found the perfect Valentine for Rove, Cheney, Coulter, Limbaugh, Beck.. (how do I loathe thee? let me count the ways?)

A new video game based on Dante’s Inferno. Yeah. Maybe they can rush production in time for the holidays?

http://bit.ly/InfernoVideoGame
“Players will assume the role of Dante as he fights through Alighieri’s nine circles of hell — limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery.
“Inferno” will be released in Europe and North America in February of next year, according to EA.
Game software will be tailored for play on Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3 consoles along with PlayStation PSP handheld devices.”

I’m working on a project an can’t chat long.. just wanted to say hello and offer you this snark..

MrCE told me this morning, and I’ve been thrilled all day. What a freaking circus the repubs are showing. How is everyone tonight?

Good point. Legislation soonish?

Just wanted to say hi to everyone before we’re down.

11 — about time someone did this.

Maintenance shut down coming in few minutes – see top of page.

I fine just really tired. Left katymine a note, the sweetie is in hospice. See Loo Hoo’s diary above.

I’m glad to see this, hopefully a sign of more assertiveness to follow.

Obama Slaps Congress, Lobbyists In Push For Consumer Protection Agency

Hi! See me on FB. I’ll go there soon.

Sure, should be a slam-dunk.:)

Loving retirement, Christine! How are YOU?

Hi Margot.

Believe I will head out, splendid evening to all.

‘…Congratulations, kid…’

;>)

Oh, Loo Hoo!
Not yet old enough to enjoy retirement. Damn! I am teaching and lecturing all month.

Nighters, ratfood. (funny typing your name!)

ok!

Well, as long as you’re giving good lectures-good for you! What I’ve found is that people suddenly “hit the wall” and know that it’s time to retire.

Good piece, Knoxville! I like to hear Andrew Sullivan’s take on things, but sometimes he just falls ‘way off the mark. IMHO, he aspires to be an intelligent Conservative voice (and no, that’s not an oxymoron), but his arguments just fall short, sometimes.

When he’s been on, say, Kurtz’s Roundtable or elsewhere, Sullivan seems like he’s just grazing in the field of conservative thought, not digging in and pulling out his points by the roots. Not sure if he’s ever done Charlie Rose. May not have liked what Buckley might opine in his regal way, but he landed his points well; he delivered something cogent to argue against.

bonk,bonk…..is this thing on?

Yes, it is. Good morning to anyone who is up.

cool, the techs are done.

I just got an email from Michael Steele. Here’s the heading:

From: Michael S. Steele, RNC Chairman
To:
Subject: Nobel Peace Prize for Awesomeness

I have to head in to work today. I started a new job this week and I’m too far behind to enjoy a weekend. So, I’m going to miss PUAC (sigh).

The letter with the big gold seal?
We started the morning with people asking if the Nobel announcement was a Onion prank, and ended it with the head of the RNC pretending to be on RomperRoom.

nite you guys

Mornin’, gang -

Anybody still about?

Good morning, pups. It’s Collins, Blow and Herbert this morning. In “The Eye of the Beholder” Ms. Collins says in New Jersey’s gubernatorial race, a candidate’s weight is now an issue. As Americans get fatter, who will be qualified to run for office? That won’t be a problem here in Savannah — our former mayor was separated at birth from Jabba the Hut. Mr. Blow, in “No More Suffering in Silence,” says we must do a better job of helping children who are sexually assaulted realize they are not alone, not at fault and not powerless. In “Igniting the Growth of Jobs” Mr. Herbert says the government must develop creative approaches and make the investments necessary to start putting people back to work.

Here they are.

The coffee and tea are ready, and I’ve got French toast with warm maple syrup this morning. They must have been working on the servers last night, because I was logged off this morning. (Which would also explain the very few comments.) I guess they’re back up and running? Hope so… Have a good day.

Hey, Marion -

You just answered my question……was wondering if everyone got knocked off the FDL logged in grid last night and since it happened to both of us, assume answer is “yes”.
