You can hear a speech, you can read a speech, or you can look at a speech as a word cloud.

Yesterday Mediaite TV Editor Steve Krakauer was on CNN.com discussing the blogosphere reaction to Barack Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize. He was on with James Richardson from Skepticians.com.

Peter Paul Rubens was a world-renowned painter of fleshy nudes — and a diplomat, spy and covert operative. His success as a diplomat was predicated on a combination of the high esteem in which he was held internationally and by his own great intelligence.

Big news from Norway: President Barack Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize. The prize was awarded for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.” Kind of puts that whole Chicago thing in perspective, eh?
