From ITN World:

The Nobel Committee announced Friday that the annual peace prize was awarded to Barack Obama, just nine months into his presidency, “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.” In Surprise, Nobel Peace Prize to Obama for Diplomacy:

The award cited in particular Mr. Obama’s effort to reduce the world’s nuclear arsenal. “He has created a new international climate,” the committee said.

The announcement stunned people from Norway to the White House. “There has been no discussion, nothing at all,” said Rahm Emanuel, the president’s chief of staff, in a brief telephone interview.

Remember how the media treated Democrats who ran for president and lost? The beltway bloviators and the villagers in the media reduced them to cartoon characters to be ridiculed and mocked with derisive laughter. Al Gore, who actually won the popular vote in 2000, and John Kerry, who narrowly lost by losing Ohio, have become the modern standards for openly hostile and derisive treatment from the petulant villagers in the media.

So how has the media treated John McCain since he got his ass handed to him by the largest margin of victory in quite some time? I mean, McCain presents such a wealth of comedic material.

Tune in to "The Truth" 104.1FM tonight at 8:00 for Jon Justice's Hour of Power protest to the so-called Earth Hour. That's right, the environmentalist whackos are going to turn off their lights for an hour to save the planet or something. A bunch of Luddite wannabes.

TURN ON your lights and any other appliances you might have a need or desire to use to make sure that the demand on the power grid is balanced. Might be a great time to bake a cake or roast a turkey, or toast up a loaf or two of bread. Also might be a good time to listen to all those great Led Zeppelin albums or that Up With People "People Are Energy" album--the former to enjoy, the latter to annoy any hard core Earth Hour purists in the dark home next door.

According to the Yellow Sheet, State Treasurer Dean Martina thinks that Attorney General Terry Goddard is conspiring against him!

Geez.

The conflict between the two is ongoing, but the current iteration is that Martin wants to be able to hire outside counsel, and Goddard has argued that this will lead to unnecessary expenses and could elevate disputes between state agencies into lawsuits. I’m betting that Martin is angry that Goddard’s office says “no” to his media stunts too often and he just wants to shop around for a lawyer who says “yes.”

Martin is now alleging that Goddard is trying to strong arm him by recruiting a candidate against him, one that works for his office.
