Seriously though, the only reason I picked the old layout is because there is a linebreak between the catagories. If you do that with the new one as well I will change my vote.

Technically you could ignore my plea for a Nobel and say you approved of *both* format options simultaneously, but luckily not too many troublemakers went that route.

@veg-o-matic: I vote for "Other Crap."

@seattlemaninblue: Even with multi-voting, the old format is getting its clock cleaned.

So it's not unprecedented and I know Obama's policies of international engagement are very popular around the world (and, let's face it, as the US is the 800-lb. gorilla, it's good for everybody else when the US is working in concert with the rest of the world instead of at odds with it). So I'm okay with it in that way.

OTOH, domestically, I think it's probably NOT such a good thing and will tend to undermine him more than support him.

i mean, isn't that what everyone does for hallowe'en?

@Kimaroo - 20% More Kitty Added!: I will be happy to take all your unwanted candy corn. Unless it is a non-standard flavor. That stuff always tastes strange. But original candy corn - sooooo good. I eat it until my throat burns from all the sugar.

@seattlemaninblue: I checked the one for "Old" and "Nobel Prize" because I agree with both.. heheh.

@MostlyHarmless: I always threw it away.. Kind of like confetti/grass in an easter basket.. I always thought it was just filler. I mean I know it's technically edible.. I just didn't know real people actually ATE it.. you know?

Have you ever heard Lewis Black's thing about Candy Corn? It's hillarious!

They should be radio buttons, not checkboxes.

I guess LED sign is not the same thing as LED tag.. I knew you said something LED was broken though.

I'll be damned if my 6-lbs of pens are lumped in with some frumpy three-hole punch!

+over 9000 for the new, suggested layout.

@OneTrickPony: You actually eat candy corn? I didn't know people really ate that stuff..

Learn something new every day I guess.. Thanks! : )

Love the new layout, so I can skip the electronics section. Can we also get more deals in the clothes/home sections?

@larrymac: I don't see anything that's all that offtopic.. The stuff about the Nobel Prize comes from the option on the poll.

@GitEmSteveDave_IsWaving: I figured that he posted that deal for you, because you said your LED tag was broken.

The Samsung camcorder from buy.com is $229.89 + FS through Ritz Camera at amazon. It's silver, not black though.

@GitEmSteveDave_IsWaving: I was wondering if that deal being posted was a not-so-subtle hint regarding attire at the meetup.

People are trying to tweak the Bible, because they think it is "too liberal". AKA "You know you have created God in your own image, when he hates the same people as you do."

I love the new layout!

New layout rules.

Hit it out of the park, Consumerist.

Also, I award Chris a prize for the Domo picture. And minus several million internets for those who seem to think this is an open thread.

Me - I think the committee just gave it to him in order to avoid the death panels themselves.

"In this country, anyone can become famous by going from being a fatass, to not being a fatass."

And that deal on LED nametags is damn good. Buy them now for the reader meetup! Mine will be green, of course, as green will be the new red in LED nametags next season.

@NeverLetMeDown: I'm not a huge fan of Obama, though I agree. The committee jumped the "We <3 Obama" bandwagon and the "Well, it's not G.W. let's award America!" Ah well.

But seriously, I heard he threatened the judging panel with guns....Michelle's Guns!

But no. The real reason was his recent revelation that he is in fact the 5th Horseman of the Apocolypse, and all wars ended in fear of him destroying them upon his blinding white steed of power.

Pfff... Nobel Prizes... They're handing those things out to EVERYONE these days.

@MostlyHarmless:

Yeah, I'm a fan too, but basically he's getting it for the great achievement of "Not Being George W. Bush."

Speaking of the Nobel Peace Prize... As big a fan of Obama I am... what exactly has he done to deserve the Nobel Peace Prize?

Funny part is, even the Obama admin was surprised by the decision.

Most likely the Committee awarded it because of how he makes them "feel good about themselves".

[PS: Note to dictionary software makers - add "Barack" and "Obama" to the list already... else the death panels will get you.]

2 down, 316 to go...

Is there a morning deal for Nobel Peace Prizes as well?

Though, in all seriousness, I prefer the new layout. Categories make more sense when shopping.
