I guess anyone can get a Nobel Peace Prize these days.  Where do I sign up?

I mean, Al Gore got one for his environmental work – even though he still is one of the largest single polluters ever. (Or did he win for creating the Internet?)

Now Obama gets one for “trying”.  I guess the “No child left behind” rules apply to Obama as well.  I mean, everyone wins, there are no losers, right?

for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples

Excuse me?!  Isn’t this the man who pissed off Israel, sat down all chummy with Iran, while they plan to blow us up, and now is saying the Taliban is an organization we should recognize as a legitimate part of the middle east?  Forgive me, but I am of the mind that he should be impeached for the harm he is doing this country.

But hey, as another blogger wrote:

I for one am glad that the Nobel Foundation has relaxed their standards when it comes to the Nobel Peace Prize. Imagine if they had to wait around for someone like Gandhi or MLK to show up. They’d be stuck with a bunch of medals and millions of dollars in prize-money. (The Sarcasmist)

Maybe I should apply next year?  I’ve been good!  Even Santa thinks so!
