We got the Nobel Prize!
Having been startled by the announcement, I thought oh no!
But that is only in terms of where the likes of "just a guy"* might take it.
ANACHRONISTIC SEGUE [***]
"Some are guilty by association and some are innocent by no association, with thinking." I had employed this phrase in reply to a buddy who is "just a guy"**, and victim of the Rand Illusion.
But seriously, the Nobel committee recognizes the power of hope and more importantly, people being at the table, let alone who gets it in the end.
* Dennis Miller and Bill O'Reilly agree: Glenn Beck is "just a guy"
** ironically a veteran and anesthesiologist
[Teddy, Woodrow, Jimmy, and Barack : Just Guys! ]
***there is a bit of preemption in the links and context but on the other hand it does just flow as read.
[Just a digg, the Barack link was originally RealClearPolitics.com which did not present [Correction:no longer presents] Obama's comments but was live.]

[update: 10-21-09 Joan got it and anachronisitically I clarify the segue at *** where I had just listed the [Just Guys]just before Obama held his press conference.]

To correct any anachronism this was written pretty much "as is" up to the "Just Guys" insertion before Obama commented on his award.
A bit of redundancy or is it redone dunce see in that I have just found and read the Joan Walsh post but repeated in regards to "just flow" as in (see other comment)
