Oh HELL no!
What a friggin insult.
I don't like hardly any, if not all that have gotten it.

Rush is way better than that.

 

[Gonz]

It could show a move toward real equality.

 

[catocom]

eh, he'd had to make a move now, and go love-up to some foreign dictator,
and even then he might not get it.
Nope, I just don't see it.

 

[MrBishop]

Rush for a peace prize?

 

[catocom]

hey now, it's the man's BD. You could have cut him some slack.

 

[MrBishop]

Happy Birthday, Rush!

I'm assuming that he's in for Journalism...I can't open the link.

 

[catocom]

[BB]

Rush and Gonz ...same birthday ...never seen in the same room, same time?

 

[MrBishop]

not Rush, Gonz.

Oh well...in that case.
Happy Birthday Gonz!

I'm sure that Rush must've deserved the nomination...somehow.

 

[catocom]

[Gonz]

I'm sure that Rush must've deserved the nomination...somehow.
