Spokesperson at State on Obama’s Nobel:

Certainly from our standpoint, this gives us a sense of momentum — when the United States has accolades tossed its way, rather than shoes.

I love it.

On a day when the world is drinking a Coke in celebration of Pax Obama, some unsettling news from war-torn South Floridastan — a Second Amendment love-in at a shooting gallery got a little out of hand:

Armed with handguns and AK-47 and AR-15 assault rifles, the members of the Southeast Broward Republican Club abandoned the usual community center for their club meeting this week, and gathered at a gun range where they fired bullets instead of political bombshells…

Though most of the targets of gunfire were standard gun-range fare — large silhouettes of a human figure — a few shooters used large color posters instead. They depicted a menacing figure, adorned in a kaffiyeh, the kind of headdress worn by the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. The person in the picture was holding a rocket-propelled grenade.

One of the shooters at the Tuesday evening event was Robert Lowry, a Republican candidate hoping to unseat U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston. Lowry’s target had the letters “DWS” next to the silhouette head.

Remember the rule here: The more folks we can get on board to foment assassination, the less chance any single person can be blamed for it.

apparently the standards are more exacting for an ASU honorary degree these days

The Corner:

His self-worship has created real problems for him and this will only feed into it. His vanity is his Achilles heel. The Nobel committee actually did him no favor.

Erick Erickson (RedState):

I just stopped myself from passing gas. I should get the Nobel Peace Prize for fighting against global warming and air pollution.

Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize statement this morning:

Well, this is not how I expected to wake up this morning.

After I received the news, Malia walked in and said, “Daddy, you won the Nobel Peace Prize, and it is Bo’s birthday.”

And then Sasha added, “Plus, we have a three-day weekend coming up.”

So it’s — it’s good to have kids to keep things in perspective.

I am both surprised and deeply humbled by the decision of the Nobel Committee.

Let me be clear, I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations.

You know that right-winger in the cubicle next to yours? Well you can go ahead and steal that Swingline Stapler of his you’ve been oogling, because his head is about to explode when he opens his morning paper and learns just who won the Nobel Peace prize without even trying!

(CNN) — President Barack Obama made history again Friday, winning the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”

Less than nine months into his presidency, Barack Obama has been awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee recognized Obama’s efforts to solve complex global problems, including working toward a world free of nuclear weapons.

It’s gonna be sorta like the rapture today, with all the Right-wingers walking around without heads.
