GOP: Go in Peace!!!
{Note: This was a comment on a post by OverreachThis, but I thought it was worth sharing since on the West Coast I come so late to these parties. http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/blogs/mare_nostrum/2009/10/barack-obama-has-won-the-nobel.php#comment-3628807}
Maybe we should just leave the Republicans out of this. I mean, it is not due to any action of the GOP that Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize today, but solely due to his efforts to turn away from the path the GOP had taken. They are not on this path. They do not wish to be on this path, and yet we bring up their name. This is not about them. This is about our country, our President, the country and President they would deny. To hear their name is to pollute the air of peace that has developed. It disturbs the peace if you will. Let there be peace. The GOP has no intention, stated or implied, to bring about peace. Fine, they may remain in whatever misery they wish. Bringing them to this celebration only makes them more upset. So let's not. They have no intention of making this a Grand Old Party anyway.
GOP - go in peace, go in anger, go - just...fucking...GO!

[DD, THANKS! I've got baseball stuck in my head now!]
I think it's time we behave like we are winning, like we are the champions.
A real competitor is not the guy who screams at the umpire for a bad call. He's the guy who takes the next pitch and hits it out of the park. S/He scores without bothering to acknowledge the umpire's poor eyesight.
The GOP is blind and they are not even the umpire anyway. The umpire just declared Obama's election a home run, and the GOP can't even admit he ever made contact with the ball. Check out the scoreboard. We just got another run. The game's far from over, but we just scored.
As for the Olympics, did the GOP score? No, they're still out in the field. They have not made contact with anything resembling success from their own orginal efforts in months, if not years. The Olympics were a foul ball. A good swing, hit it out past the fence, but a little off course. I like what we did with that next pitch.
