The committee had already discredited itself by several of its earlier awards.
It was Affirmative Action Harvard, Affirmative Action Senator, and Affirmative Action President.
Never before has so much been bestowed on such a feeble childish and less deserving person.
The only job for which he was ever qualified was that time when he worked at Baskin Robbins scooping ice cream.
I read an article where the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, SC, was proposed for the Nobel Peace Prize based upon their positive, forgiving, and loving response to the murder of 9 of their members.

Who the hell posted that under my handle. It maketh
no sense and didn’t reek of booze or pungent weed. I’ll keep my eye on him.
