Great fun and distraction with the varied responses

I like this tweet, linked over at HotAir:

A good one from Ezra Klein:

Obama also awarded Nobel prize in chemistry. “He’s just got great chemistry,” says Nobel Committee.

And blogforce One’s mention of the beer summit diplomacy as justification for the award.

[...] The industrious Mata – whom I would nominate for the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize – took a closer look at the Nobel committee candidate selection process: February – Deadline for submission. The Committee bases its assessment on nominations that must be postmarked no later than 1 February each year. Nominations postmarked and received after this date are included in the following year’s discussions. In recent years, the Committee has received close to 200 different nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize. The number of nominating letters is much higher, as many are for the same candidates. [...]

@Wordsmith:

Definately should have thought of the clown posse before making that statement. What a bunch, they don’t even deserve to have the Publisher’s Clearing House Prize Patrol show up to their door with a 4′X 8′ check and balloons let alone a trip to Norway to pick up a medal and a million.

None of them would be personally sifting through all the junk to find the right sticker to put in the proper place or be rejected, it would be their poor secretary. But, they just might be lured into it by one of those Buxton expando briefcases in popular colors and Algore might want to spend time shredding and recycling some of the garbage that comes in those “official envelopes.” They still don’t deserve either prize because none of them did or will do anything of significance to earn either. Posers!

Ha, given the Nobel for “good intentions” based on thought process.

“We should all eat”
“We should all have medical”
“We should all get along”

So, without accomplishing any of these goals, but thinking them he gets a prize.. Aww, i offer him an M n M Cookie and a smiley face sticker. But a Nobel Peace Prize… HARDLY!

Obam Wins The Dumbass Award…

I can hardly believe this.  I was going to take the day off until I got a special phone call from Loki wanting to know if I had heard the news.  I said I was ……

@Missy:

I agree with Obama, he doesn’t deserve to be in the company of other award recipients but, he’s going to accept it anyway.

Not sure; he fits right in, with some of the company: Al Gore in 2007, Jimmy Carter in 2002, Arafat in 1994…

Great fun and distraction with the varied responses… below a couple of Lucianne comments that made me grin in response to an article on Slate by Mickey Kaus, “What Obama should do with his Nobel Peace Prize”. (boy don’t that leave one imagination’s open to the plethora of possibilities…)

Kaus sez he should politely refuse as it would solve his “…narcissism problem and his Fred Armisen (‘What’s he done?’) problem, demonstrating that he’s uncomfortable with his reputation as a man overcelebrated for his potential long before he’s started to realize it.

Here’s a few priceless observations from the good humored Lucianne crowd worthy of sharing:

zoidberg: “Mmm, mmm, mmm.”

cameraeye: “Bill Clinton has a nasty bump on his head from banging on the wall!”

jrtrhd: “He’ll pass on accepting? Wait, was that a pig flying past my window a moment ago? Highly unlikely”

Paul Revere: “In support of the fight against global warming, he should put it where the sun don’t shine!”

and…

LambiePie: “Deleted by me”

Ah yes… as thebronze said above, “the jokes just write themselves”.

And, of course, Lucianne’s Friday Video, the Russian reaction. “ridiculous decision”….

SoCal Chris, thanks for noticing I was gone. :0) Swamped with work, and may have to dive under again starting tomorrow. So I’m trying to play catch up. Thanks for your concern.
