Honorable Mentioned

President Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize.

For creating a political climate where peace can possibly thrive.

Its a perfect postmodernist reason.

He hasn't really done anything to earn the distinction. He's like the Kramer of the political world: A big dreamer who mooches food off his neighbors. Why not give him an Oscar, too? Or some other meaningless award?

The Nobel Peace Prize committee jumped the shark a long time ago, especially when they started giving terrorists peace prize awards. But now, they have turned the award into the equivalent of the honorable mention I won at the county fair in 3rd grade for my dinosaur picture. Of course, I shared that honorable mentioned with 40 other kids.

Here's a list of those people passed over so the left of the world could declare who they like the most:

Michelle Obama once said something like it took her a long time to like her country.

I'm taking the opposite trajectory: I'm starting to *not* like my country and its uber-liberal trajectory.

I think it is really dissapointing that he won this award for doing nothing. It's really ridiculous.
