News of the Nobel Peace Prize being awarded to yet another war profiteer was mainly received with shock from both sides of the political spectrum when Barack Hussein Obama was named the winner last week. American historian, intellectual and long-time peace activist Howard Zinn’s reaction was fair and to the point:I was dismayed when I heard Barack Obama was given the Nobel peace prize. A shock, really, to think that a president carrying on two wars would be given a peace prize.

By Eugene Robinson Somebody explain this to me: The president of the United States wins the Nobel Peace Prize, and Rush Limbaugh joins with the Taliban in bitterly denouncing the award?

It seems that Big Rush Limbaugh isn’t satisfied with spreading his bile over the airwaves on a daily basis. Now he wants to become a NFL owner. It’s been reported that Limbaugh is interested in purchasing the woeful St. Louis Rams franchise and my goodness has the poo been flying. There are some that say he should be able to buy a team. I mean, it’s capitalism as it is at work; those that have money should buy what they want.

Following are some reasons members of the Republican party would be very happy. Michelle Obama love letters to Bill Clinton uncovered. Thirty five American soldiers killed in Taliban ambush. George Clooney film bombs at box office. Pope issues encyclical saying Catholics must vote for the Republican Party in America. Tony Blair admits to homosexual relationship with George Bush and used it to force the invasion of Iraq. Voting records reveal Karl Marx in 1860 voted for the Democratic candidate for president.

Laura Berman is horrified that people are making fun of Detroit after a call to get taxpayer funded help and a woman who had no clue where or why this money came to be. Nobody laughs at Indonesians buried under rubble. They don’t sneer at hurricane victims whose houses float away. But to the media conservatives who feed on the despair of the poor, Detroit’s economic Katrina is an opportunity to stir up the rabble. In this week’s case, it created a rush to Google and YouTube and provided fodder for fringe hate groups.

They pulled this against Rush Limbaugh earlier this year and just made him more popular, now with Anita Dunn leading the charge against Fox News, its just going to make them more popular. TVNEWSER has the reaction from various people. The sad part is I have the feeling they put more thought and planning into this than they have with Afghanistan.

Rush Limbaugh wants to buy the Rams, eh? I have a better idea. Since el Rushbo hates Liberals, is a racist, a homophobe, and does not think women like football, I have decided to create a fantasy football team for Limbaugh that will put him in a league of his own. With “talent on loan from God,” Limbaugh can call the shots. It is his money, after all, so let’s help him out here. Oh yeah, the team will be called The Dittophobes. Center: Hannity gets some autonomy because he likes to direct the efforts of the other members of the Offensive Line.

Now its a party! I am surprised Rev Jesse didn’t jump on this first. Al Sharpton urged the N.F.L. in a letter released Monday to reject the conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh’s potential bid to buy the St. Louis Rams. He also asked for a meeting with N.F.L. Commissioner Roger Goodell. It was the latest indication of the controversy Limbaugh’s involvement in the bid has caused, months before N.F.L. owners are expected to consider a new ownership group for the Rams.
