NO, you can’t be depressed at the Nobel Prize news. It’s so totally absurd, it is simply funny. It had me laughing uncontrollably here at work — more so than any thing I’ve ever seen on the silliness thread.
Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize is, in fact, the most silly thing that I have EVER seen on a Friday.
It’s not like Arafat, which WAS depressing, because it’s not that Obama did things that in fact were evil but are counted for good. It’s that Obama has done NOTHING for peace in his entire public life.
And their main reason for giving him the prize is that he said he wanted a world without nuclear weapons.
Well, I said that too — can I have a prize? My kids said that when they were in grade school. Doesn’t everybody except tyrannical madmen WISH that we didn’t have nuclear weapons threatening us?
It’s just that most adults actually know you can’t really make the world safer, or peaceful, by removing nuclear weapons, because you can’t get rid of them all. It’s impossible.
Except Obama doesn’t understand this, because he’s an idiot. And the Nobel people just gave out a peace prize to the guy that is too stupid to know that you can’t get rid of nuclear weapons and still have peace.
And that, my friends, is silly.
