I had the radio on through the night and for some reason I awoke about 2 am Alaska time to hear the Bill Bennett program "Morning in American" talking about what Obama should do with his Nobel money. It seemed like a fantasy but it was just weird enought for validity so I turned to our local NPR station which plays, wait for it, BBC programme-ing all through the wee hours, and the Beeb confirmed. So this morning I made an effort and tuned to the start of the Rush Limbaugh program just to hear his head explode, which made less of a hollow popping sound than I expected.
A thoroughly enjoyable Fridam morning.
As to whether Obama deserves it, I can hear loud and clear what the world is saying to us...."He deserves it because he ain't 'W'!"
And even though I'm also hearing a lot of 'left' Democrats who are not totally sure of that, the world is still optimistic, so it is 'morning in America' across a lot more than our vertically aligned continent.
