Nobel Joke

I got up this morning and poured cereal for the kids then sat down in front of the computer with my own bowl to read Fark and catch up on the world "not news." Imagine my surprise and HORROR when I read that Obama has been awarded the Nobel Prize! For what, I ask. For his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." Are you freaking kidding me? I do this everyday when I pull my kids off each other and admonish them to be nice to each other and their friends. I absolutely cannot believe this sack of crap has been given the Nobel prize for incessantly running his gaping hole of a mouth.

The prize committee admits that they gave him the award in hopes that it would encourage him to achieve peace in the Middle East. Again, are you kidding me? Those people have been fighting for thousands of years. I seriously doubt an over-privileged socialist with a horse for a wife is going to achieve what millions of men have struggled for over the centuries. Again, I would like to mention that he has of yet accomplished nothing except for being adept with rhetoric.

The deadline to submit the nominations for the prize was February 1st, not even two weeks after Obama went into office. The committee began accepting nominations back in September of 08. This is completely absurd. The man had done NOTHING when he was nominated.

I think most will agree with me when I say this was the most undeserved award ever awarded. Except maybe for Taylor Swift's VMA because Beyonce had the best video of all time. All time.

I LOVE READING YOUR COMMENTS. THE WHOLE FAMILY'S! I really enjoy reading Danny and Spencer's 'Deep Thought, Word Pit' stuff.

I agree completely with your assessment as well. What a joke...

I should have left a comment sooner, but life happens; along the way you intend to call or write or something, and then a year has gone by and still nothing.

Love you guys-
Gary
