I have to go watch it again - just astonishing. And yes, how wonderful to see this group of young women display their athleticism, grace, and abilities. Wow!! Speaking of athleticism, we went to the UVA football game, taking our grandnephew to his first live game (he's 5). We all had a blast, especially since UVA won 47 - 7. Fantastic - and perfect Fall weather to boot! (And it turned out to be prescient planning to be away from my computer this weekend - it kept my focus OFF of Obama winning the Peace Prize, thus keeping my head from exploding. Because you know he is SO much like, say, NELSON MANDELA...Sheesh.) Hey, y’all – Glad everyone liked it. I have to go watch it again – just astonishing.

Fisher House would be nice. Perhaps he will donate it to ACORNS Legal defense fund? Pehaps he can pay for the heating bills for an entire winter in his state senate district as a way to make up for his indifference. Can't imagine the look on MO's face. "all that cheese" and we can't keep it." Bill Clinton has a charity. Fisher House would be nice. Perhaps he will donate it to ACORNS Legal defense fund?

It was great -- true left-wing resistance, not the fakers on Daily Kos. About NYC's Mayor Bloomberg, we sang "Bloomberg Sucks! Bloomberg Sucks!" I like Bloomberg, he's done a good job with NY public schools. But this was a 1st Amendment orgy. We were just enjoying our right to criticize the Mayor -- with an amplifier and a police permit! It was pure American spirit--wild and free. The last singer sang Steppenwolf's 'Born To Be Wild' which is really the same song as 'Born In The USA.' God, I love this country. Then we started in on the President. "Obama Sucks! Obama Sucks!" Can I come home to the left? I just came from the Harvest Festival in NYC, the scene of an awful police riot 20 years ago.

I enjoy seeing and hearing good news that you and other bloggers continue to bring to our attention. These young ladies make me proud to be an American. Their talent, hard work, teamwork and professionalism are wonderful. I'm glad to see young men in a military school cheering them on. Anybody any good at something has earned it. Thanks, R3 Amy!

However, there is no way to measure the influencing effects that the honorific gesture will have on a man/child who already suffers from dilusional Narcissism. I'm sure that the ultra left wing Nobel committee factored this into their disturbing decision. It was also a rather petulent parting shot at Bush, and utterly disgraceful treatment of more deserving candidates.
