So, what did you think of Obama’s State of the Union address last night? I got a kick out of Fox New’s poll where they asked people “What do you want to hear Obama say tonight” and they answered “I resign”. I wish!

But hey, as another blogger wrote:

I for one am glad that the Nobel Foundation has relaxed their standards when it comes to the Nobel Peace Prize. Imagine if they had to wait around for someone like Gandhi or MLK to show up. They’d be stuck with a bunch of medals and millions of dollars in prize-money. (The Sarcasmist)

Maybe I should apply next year?  I’ve been good!  Even Santa thinks so!
