Ig Nobels

[Otto]

Le Duc Thọ and Kissinger (who indeed might be considered as a
criminal) got the nobel for the Vietnam-agreement in 1973.

I agree to "Alice". Obama has already stopped the new rocket system
Bush had planned for Europe, a decision that immediately lead to a
better atmosphere between Russia and the US.

He's open for the climate problem, big change compared to Bush.

He is willing to talk to the Muslim world. Give him eight years and
things in the Middle East will get better. Threre will be other
Israeli governments who want peace and not only the status quo.

It is absolutely un-patriotic of those evangelical Republicans to make
such a fuss about Obama's health care plans. Having just burned
Billions for the neocolonial Iraq-war (based upon a bunch of outright
lies) they really should be silent.

It is still "a time of unrestrained corporate greed, false
religiosity, moronic fecklessness, and evil intent in high places."
