Today is our one-year anniversary, so I thought I’d post a little note congratulating all the contributors for their hard work over the past year and congratulating all of our commenters for their role in creating a great community around the site. No long winded reflection on the past year to follow, just the suggestion that you git yo’self some cake today.

Borat: “I do a picture, only small, of the Tishnik Masacre. Where many Uzbeks…crushed!”
Kindly Gray Hippie: “How did you feel when you drew this?”
Borat: “Very proud!”.
KGH: “I’m just listening with sadness…a little sadness for your people…?”
Borat: “Yes…no, it is not sad. It is us who do the kill!”
When in doubt, consult the classics [5:30 mark].

Our intrepid commenter A Teacher tells the story of how he published his NaNoWriMo book (and, of course, tells us how we can get a copy of it for ourselves). ( 1 comments)
Nobel Peace Prize Jury Faces Formal Inquiry
Read the story here. Here’s the paragraph that would make clicking through worthwhile, if you’re still undecided:
If the Stockholm County Administrative Board, which supervises foundations in Sweden’s capital, finds that prize founder Alfred Nobel’s will is not being honored, it has the authority to suspend award decisions going back three years — though that would be unlikely and unprecedented, said Mikael Wiman, a legal expert working for the county.

Happy birthday. Short time reader, first time caller. I have to admit that so far, I’ve been very impressed with this blog. I’m a small ‘l’ libertarian, personally socially conservative but politically socially liberal (you do what you want, I do what I want, mmkay?), fiscally conservative, gun nut. I love the difference of opinions here and the level of discourse between everyone. It’s nice to see a place where disagreements don’t instantly devolve into poo flinging and insults.
I hope to join into the fray soon, but at least know there are people out there who appreciate the tone of this blog.
Happy Birthday indeed. Any reason why you chose the Gipper or was it just the most convenient cake?
Honestly, I was looking for a standard picture of a birthday cake, preferably with one candle, and I happened across this picture. It was too funny/perfect to pass up. And Mike is right, the Gipper’s suit is money.
Man – that suit on the Gipper is pimp! I would kill to see the President, any President, roll out for a press briefing in one of those.
And Happy Birthday League!
Happy Birthday guys. Many More!
It’s been a party from the get-go. Thanks everyone.
Happy Birthday, LoOG. I assume, Scott, you are currently dressed just as Ronnie is in the picture.
Were it that I could be that stylin’, Jon.
Ditto, happy birthday, hope you guys stick around for many more.
I’m with Mike. If the Big O had a suit like that he wouldn’t have lost Massachewsetts….er, well maybe!
That suit! My eyes!! The goggles do nothing!
Anyhow, horrible suits notwithstanding, a hearty mazel tov to all of you.
