.......most of them are truly great picks. If Rush Limbaugh was hoping for a second medal he was, no doubt, disappointed. George Soros got one today, which I love doubly as I hear Republican heads exploding in the distance. If one of my repub friends comments on this, I intend to ask how they feel about the posthumous award to George W. Romney, Mitt's dad and someone who bore as much resemblance to today's repubs as Gandhi to Attila the Hun.
