Now THAT is a surprise. I am sure even to him. Somewhere Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton and gnashing their teeth.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I got the impression it was the Nobel committee's way of saying, "See? If you're not an international asshole you might get nice things," aka, "Thank you for not being Bush."

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I have to agree. I like his foreign policy chops so far, better than his domestic performance (I think he's been too timid with Congress); but less than one year into the job, I feel like he's maybe started some promising things but there's not a lot that's actually got very far yet.

Yeah, I think that's pretty much it. "Thank you for letting us sleep at night without worrying you'll nuke the world. No seriously, thanks. It's been a while."

Our wings are not tired.
Well, the coverage of the moon thing wasn't exactly thrilling. I want more stuff goes boom.
Yay, Obama, but yeah not sure about that one.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Well, if it's not a big BOOM, remember that the Moon is very large and the bomb is kind of small.
As for the Nobel -- remember that campaign ad asking who'd be answering the phone at 3 AM in the White House?
Nobody who watched it ever bothered to wonder who'd be calling?
Me, I'm wondering if the White House switchboard thought it was a prank call.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I got the impression it was the Nobel committee's way of saying, "See? If you're not an international asshole you might get nice things," aka, "Thank you for not being Bush."
Yeah, that sounds about right.
