He likes to be called "T-Paw". No lie.

That explains the classy remark.

This one is classy:

"Under any circumstance an appropriate response is to say congratulations." — Gov. Tim Pawlenty, R-Minn.
It's sad that I had to look and was surprised it was by a Republican. I don't know anything about his politics but it's a small glimmer that not all Republican politicians have lost their manners and gone off the deep end.

Pawlenty is not bound by blind partisanship. he has even appeared on Rachel Maddow's show once or twice.

Ugh, thanks Nobel committee, more fodder for the folks who want to paint anyone who support Obama as a raving fan-boy.

I think Obama's acceptance speech said it all.

You would think that, raving fan boy.

I'll happily stand under the banner of raving fan-boy. Doesn't mean I won't vehemently disagree with things I don't like, i.e., Tomorrowland '97 SUX!

If you need this, it will be here for you.
 
Okay, this is a just in case Obama's speech tomorrow disappoints.Play video. NSFW

Let's hope we don't need to use this.

Obama can sure speak a good speech. I got choked up a couple of times.



But there were also times I yelled at the screen. Enuf talk. Talk is cheap.

Pawlenty kind of goes back and forth. My mom sometimes likes him and other times I think she wants to take him out back and spank him. Sometimes he sounds rational and other times ya gotta wonder what was in his Kool-Aid.

The discussion I've been watching is that the Nobel prize is given for effort, not always for accomplishment. It seems this applies to diplomacy/ non science fields.

I'm not sure what I think about it. Not sure that Mr. O deserves the Nobel prize; sure he talks a great line, and he's working for peace and diplomacy, but I'm not sure it's Nobel material. And being nominated within two weeks? Not sure about that.
