When I first read saw the headline, I said to myself "Must be a typo. It's supposed to say 'Academy Award', not Nobel Peace Prize". Then, I looked at several other sites and saw that it really was the Nobel. The only explanation is that the Norwegians are either playing a joke or they're trying to manipulate the President by playing to his ego. WTF.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

There was that Glasnost and Perestroika thing that helped bring down the Cold War (a/k/a collapse of Soviet Union). You didn't think they could find it in themselves to give it to Ronnie RayGun, Didcha? |

step right up!!
collapse your country....WIN A PRIZE!
I guess the collapse of America is near....
can anybody say..."second stimulus"
"I want to see Obama do well because if he is doing well, odds are our Country is doing well."
have to disagree with this John, I'm sure that Obama would define "doing well" as successfully implementing his radical agenda, if he's "doing well" by his standards we will be deeply indebted and we will labor under the thumb of a big oppressive government...that would not be "doing well"...

You need the Spence Political Forum Talking Point of the Day Calendar. Each and every day there's a new word or phrase like "Bi-partisan Support", "Imposing Theocracy", Exit Strategy", Neocon", "Conservative Vapidity", Tea Baggers", and "GOP Rhetoric". Just type anything, then add in something from that days calendar page and you've got yourself a Spencism.  |
