Well, other than complaining about the load time of WordPress.com, I’ve got not much to add to the news Barack Obama’s won a Nobel Peace Prize. Except that Tom Lehrer got out of political satire the day Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, on the grounds that anything he could have said would have been redundant.

Quite so.

    Tom Lehrer is brilliant! loved that video – its so true.

    Here in London it was hard to take the news of the Prize I have to say.

    As it was everywhere. If the ability to give good speech were all it took, surely there are some people in suburban Toastmasters clubs who deserve it more.

    Love Tom Lehrer, too. That remark of his about Kissinger was brilliant! (This has made me think of Monty Python’s Henry Kissinger song on youtube.)

    Excellent blog!

    Oh, that picture is just . . .
    As a friend of mine said regarding the USA, “It’s all over, my friend.”
    Feels like it’s raining buckets of doom almost everyday.
    Thanks to the savior.
    Yes! He can! (NOT!)
