		<description>Thanks to the people who put up the definition of why the award was given .it sure helped me.I saved it to word pad so I could use it when the naysayers started as I knew they would. One other comment was would palin give the money earned from her book to0 charity? I don&#039;t think so. Do governors get pensions for life even when they quit before their terms are up.I hope Alaska fights that one.</description>

		<description>Is it any wonder The Taliban, in the US and abroad, have denounced Obama’s prize.The Taliban in Afghanistan want us out and of course the fascist US Taliban, the republican party as it now stands would denounce it for anyone not one of their own. LOL.  The very religious right that think only they are right are destroying the once proud GOP. It is no longer the GOP. I really don&#039;t know what name you could give these people that want war at any cost and violence at any cost.IMO the moderates don&#039;t know where to turn. JMO</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think the Sheriff ( Phx, AZ) is looking into, nothing.  If you have been following Sheriff Arpaio who would know he doesn&#039;t have a heart but have pink cuffs. 

&quot;This is a complete disgrace and gross act towards our president,&quot; said Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, &quot;My deputies are looking into all avenues of the incident, and it is a top priority.&quot;

		<description>AKM and Alaskans. I posted this on the other thread.

The Newspaper, the ADN , did not even cover the Nobel Peace Prize story. 
There is no story on the Politics Page. I would call the Newspaper and ask them WHY?

		<description>I&#039;m looking at the keatley site, and I don&#039;t see any plastic surgery, just some caps on her teef.  The portrait of her is bad, her nose looks huge and she looks like she aged a bunch in the last year.</description>

		<description>http://action.foodandwaterwatch.org/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=27967 is the link for telling Secretary Vilsack to get on the ball re hamburger/e. Coli inspections. The top 10 foods for contamination did not include the #1, hamburger, or the #2, eggs, on the list the FDA released this week, because animal products are under the watch of USDA, not the FDA. No excuse.

Happy Friday, congratulations to our President, and health and peace to all.</description>

		<description>nswfmCA:  Thanks for the sympathies.  Yes, Detroit needs an end to bad news!  First, a bad call may have cost us the World Series and now we have a broken Wing.  If there&#039;s one thing we do well, it&#039;s celebrate sports success.  And we NEED something to celebrate.  A broken Wing just puts us further behind in the party planning.  

A jump start (lookie there!  a PUN!) to the auto industry would cheer us up immensely as well.  We need to BUILD something.  It&#039;s what we DO here!  We&#039;re a patient and sturdy lot, but we&#039;ve been waiting a long time for turnaround.  I guess we&#039;ll wait just a bit longer.

The formal portrait of SP is terrible!  The others just look stupid.  Her teeth and boobs seem different, but I&#039;m not doing a side-by-side comparison, so I could be wrong.

Can&#039;t believe that Limbaugh is supposed to judge a beauty contest!  Then again, isn&#039;t he all for the objectification of women?  

He had some pretty inflammatory monologue today... he&#039;s siding with the Taliban that our President &quot;doesn&#039;t deserve&quot; the NPP.  Who is HE to say?  Since when does HE sit on the committee?  And, has he even read the (for lack of better term) &quot;mission statement&quot; of the prize?  It is not only for accomplishment, but for a vision and action towards the vision.  Rachel is citing many other recipients who hadn&#039;t yet achieved, but had the wheels in motion to accomplish something for the greater good of the world.

NO... he should NOT turn it down!!!

Finally, can&#039;t believe that you are ALL neglecting the REAL importance of this day... BO THE PUPPY turned ONE YEAR OLD today!!!  Happy Birthday to BO!</description>
