In Oslo

Obama went to Oslo to accept his Nobel Prize, and his address is getting positive reviews from unlikely sources. Even Newt Gingrich had a few complimentary words about it. It won't last, but even a limited, temporary truce is welcome at this point.

Added 9:48 am: Peggy Noonan in the WSJ speculates on Obama's shift to the center of the political spectrum. Somehow, I think Obama has been closer to the center all along than rightwingers pretended he was. For them, it's fun to paint him as some commie socialist Muslim from Kenya, and try to gain a little political advantage from it by keeping idiots stirred up.

Summer walks in Texas

Judging by the amount of water on driveways and sidewalks and in the street, some Texans seem to think you can grow concrete and asphalt using lawn sprinklers.
