The Nobel Peace Prize . . .

. . . is now officially a joke.

It was bad enough that Al Gore won the prize for making a movie. But now it's given to someone who has accomplished absolutely nothing. Zero. Zip. Nada. Well, except for his apology tour.

Ghandi never won, and Barry O does? Who's next? Michael Moore?

Of course, since Algore won for a movie, Peanut Carter won for a bunch of failed peace efforts, and Henry Kissinger won for ending the war in Vietnam - a year or two before the North Vietnamese stormed the south and took over the coutry, why am I surprised?

The Nobel committe has effectively demeaned every past winner with this insane choice.

Couldn't agree more. Is this announcement just calculated to be a slap in the face for GWB? I guess so.

B,

A purely political move. It's like a doggie treat. "Do stuff we like and we will reward you." Unfortunately, Barry seems to have an inordinate need to be adored.

I hear Obamba may be in the running for Miss America too, what a guy! What a mover and shaker.
