the peace prize

so obama won the nobel peace prize. i'm little skeptical since nominations for the prize closed 2 weeks after he took office. the people voting for obama were either psychic or just figured giving obama the prize would be the popular thing to do.

i think it would make more sense not to hand it out some years. they could just make an announcement that no prize would be awarded this year because there was no cessation of any wars. maybe i'm jaded but i'd also make a rule that all politicians were ineligible for any of the nobel prizes.

i'm a little sad today because i just received the last fresh tomato from my dad's garden. they were sweet while they lasted.

I think it was more the fact that the face of america is not warmongering bush and that is just such a fucking improvement over him that they were just happy as shit..ha

I liked that song very much.

I was surprised by it... the award that is. It simply didn't occur to me that he would be nominated. I saw no real reason for that.

Is it Cananda's thanksgiving? If so, a happy one to you. Eat well, then work it off.

yellowdog - i have a stomach ache, just ate a bag of ju jubes.

ananda - i don't consider thanksgiving to be a real holiday since there is no special candy associated with it. turkey shaped ju jubes might be nice.

What about candied yams?..Yumm!

I think the nomination was an act of faith by someone who sees him as the worlds savior. Its that or a NEOCON conspiracy to later use it to smear him. The vote was easy to predict though, like everyone else including Obama I didn't even know he was nominated, How else has the Nobel group got to show it's hope for the future. Now we are at least ignoring the right war.
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you found your Ju jubes, and ate just the right amount to settle your tummy.

Ha Ha! Jackiesue has more penis's Than she knows what to do with, So she just fries them whole.

The Nobel Prize: almost as good as homegrown tomatoes.

sling - i like my candy neat, no ice and no yams.

mr wit - i can't think of anyone else more deserving, it was a poor year for peace. i'm just glad that lousy dalai lama didn't win.

josh - yer right, i wouldn't want a nobel prize in my hamburger.

I'm underwhelmed by it all.

It’s Thanksgiving day in Canada tomorrow… I wonder if they do the turkey dinner thing there. Beaver?

In this country it’s Columbus day, big whoop, that is when we started becoming terrorists. Obama is just likely a smoother terrorist.

Obama getting the peace prize makes sense if love=hate and war=peace and 2+2=5.

billy pilgrim said...

tex - maybe obama was the "none of the above" choice.
