A busy day, so so many electrons have always been slaughtered in the name of International Peace, but where would I be without at least one post on this most remarkable of all subjects.

Personally, I heard someone say something on the radio this morning and go right to break. I thought it must be a joke, so I switched stations, figuring that if it were true then everyone would be talking about it. Sure enough, they were. So I thought, "For what?"

Apparently the answer is, For just being Him. It's a little bit embarrassing, isn't it? I mean, do you think the people in the White House are saying, "Hey Europe, don't do us any more favors for awhile, OK?" Eh, OK, probably not, but they should.

Have fun with it, because everyone else is.

At least the science prizes still have some substance behind them...I think.

The Jimmy Carterization of Barack Obama continues apace...
