Ed. Note: Ok, I need to explain this. Remembering what one our employees said to me after seeing one of these Gruzzles…”we just want to figure out how your feeble mind works…” I thought I had better explain this. Just so you ‘member, my blog persona is definitely a-political and middle of the road, although I do admit to a bias toward business. But I did think it was of questionable priority, when the three most famous O’s in America-=Pres and Mrs. O. and Oprah– all three went to Sweden to sell Chicago to the Olympic committee. It was similar, focus-wise, to the beer summit with Sgt Crowley and Professor Gates several months back, and then this week, the WH taking on Fox and the Chamber of Commerce, seemed well, er, unseemly. So those three things…beer summit, the Chicago mis trip, and the beginnings of a Nixonian enemies list, I thought was humorous commentary. The question was what was the connection, the x? I thought about saying “Shades of Pres. Carter” but THAT would really age me. Plus, not one in twenty people would remember that the main rap on President Jimmy “the true nuclear scientist” Carter was that he knew too much, and got involved in too many arcane details. Sound familiar? So “what else?” I thought, what issue might be next. The OBVIOUS choice for me was the BCS, the bowl championship series of college football. Now, there is something the Prez can fix.
The headline wrote itself. ~GLH

I’m glad you explained this one, I did not get it after two tries. But that could be that I don’t have the usual amount of caffeine flowing through my veins yet this morning.
Could be, but more than likely…it was me.

Hi, I am pretty sure neither of the Obamas have been to Sweden yet. He may come here when getting the peace price (but he gets the price in Norway). He did went to Copenhagen. But as we all know thats the capital of Denmark.
Thanks Christian. My mistake. Hey, read the kicker text, up at the top of the blog “Frequently wrong, never in doubt.” Sometimes I like to throw in obvious mistakes like that…just to see if anyone is reading closely enough. Well done, friend.
Are people in Sweden supportive of the decision? I think people are of two minds here, as per usual. It may have trivialized the Nobel process a bit, to be frank. I think some now understand that there might be a certain viewpoint of the judges. But those people are just now realizing that the HOLLYWOOD WALK OF THE STARS is just a PR device that stars and studios can just buy for $25,000, (I think that is the last official price for a star)
Anyway, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, I appreciate it.

We are mostly a bit confused, and some voices have been raised about bringing the prize home to sweden again as the norwegians did not handle this very well. But at the end nothing will happen, as ususal.
Background info: Nobel was swedish, but in the breakup in 1905 of the swedish – norway union they got the peace prize.
