Friday Roundup
Plenty of comments going around the old interwebs today about President Obama's Nobel Peace Prize, some of them good, some of them venomous. Obama is not the first person to be awarded the prize for his aspirations, but I dare say he must be the most criticized.
Congratulations, President Obama. Now, onward to peace!
