Update: Maybe Barack Obama is our reverse scapegoat. Everyone does nice things for him in order to make up for all the crap that black people have had to put up with.
Oh! Apparently the deadline for the application for the prize was 12 days into Zero's administration. What had he accomplished by then? Let alone by now.
In honor of his awesomeness (and because it's inevitable anyway), I guess it's time that we go ahead and just award him a Super Bowl ring, an Oscar, an Olympic Gold Medal, and a winning Powerball ticket.
In other news, the IOC has announced that it will be awarding the Ski Jump gold medal to Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards for his inspiring speech about his intent to "jump the farthest".
I am sure someone will smack me over the head for this comment, but I will say it anyway. The Nobel Prize Commitee, the Olympic Selection Commitee, the IAEA, the United Nations, the World Court and just about every other International organization has a political agenda. Just as Chicago losing to Rio was not meant to teach Obama a lesson, giving him the Nobel Prize is not meant to inflate his ego. To be sure one wonders about behind the scenes motivations of this selection and that would be a very intersting discussion. But I don't think that Obama is seen as an individual(the way he is seen here in both left and right circles)in the eyes of the world so much as a symbol of America.
I would like to award Obama the Peace-duke Prize for his selfless services to the residents of Gaza. Please note that the title of this new and highly prestigious prize does not refer to any efforts to bring about peace, in that word's usual meaning of the absence of war. Rather, it's a transliteration of the Russian word "pizdiuk" (пиздюг). Click on that link to find out what accolade the guy really deserves.
Once again, Norway has become the laughing-stock of the world. But it's hardly surprising that they forgot about Israeli nukes when they praised Obama's valiant fight to rid the world of nuclear weapons. After all, Norway's been selling heavy water to Israel for decades, and has never been subject to any American sanctions. As for America's own nukes, they're protected by an Israeli security firm, and I don't imagine that contract is about to be torn up.
Will this latest demonstration of the utterly slavish stupidity of Norwegian high political society give 'em a laugh in neighbouring Sweden? Well, I'd like to think so.
For those who don't already know, many citizens of Sweden like to sit around the TV set on Nobel night, having a grand celebratory meal, eating the same dishes as chefs have cooked for the King and chosen guests at the "Nobel dinner". (Yes, folks, I know way too much about Scandinavia. Just don't get me started!)
Maybe it's too much to hope for, that many Swedes will remember the Gaza massacre and the way the American political classes (Dennis Kucinich being a genuinely praiseworthy exception) cheer-led the Zionist attackers.
But let's at least hope that some of 'em remember the Zionist organ-trafficking crimes, the "unexplained" boarding of the Mossad-tracked Arctic Sea in Swedish waters, and the statements made by the "shitty little country" about Sweden in the aftermath thereof, when they ponder on the peace committee's statement that Obama has striven so wonderfully to bring peace to the Middle East.
At least when Nixon got this stupid shitty prize, troops were leaving Vietnam rather than pouring into it!
To end with a European joke: "Norway, nul points"!!
It simply cannot get worse for the NPB prestige to have had it awarded to Henry, or Arafat and Begin, for that matter (despite their real accomplishments in that regard).
At least Obama isn't yet a mass murderer/terrorist who rightly ought to be DQ'd from the honor by past deeds, like the above.
One doesn't have to go back as far as Henry K for a questionable Peace Prize winner. In an all-but-forgotten incident, last year's winner, Maati Ahtisaari, was accused of taking bribes for his role in the dismemberment of the Balkans.
I have no idea whether those specific allegations were true, but what I find even more chilling is the possibility that this kind of behavior is what actually constitutes "diplomacy" and "negotiation" in today's world.
I stand corrected about Nixon, XI. What does NPB stand for? Remember Peres too. Someone should do an analysis some time, about what proportion of media articles mentioning Peres have described him as a Nobel peace laureate, as against what proportion mentioning Arafat. You say things can't get worse? What are the odds on Netanyahu, before half a decade has passed? I mean why don't they go the whole hog and give it to Liebermann? b
Nominations closed 12 days into his administration? That's hilarious! :-) It's also absolutely true. To be more exact, nominations have to be postmarked no later than 1 February. Do you think someone should do a forensics test on the envelope?
Poor old Norway. Do you think anyone will tell 'em the joke?
I mean, having a brown tongue's one thing. But having a brown tongue, head, shoulders and torso down to the navel, isn't really that attractive.
Inspirational words have brought him a long way — including to the night in Grant Park less than a year ago when he asked that we "join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it's been done in America for 221 years — block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand."
By now there are surely more callouses on his lips than his hands.

It's the Nobel Prize for PONIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
Pia had more talent.
I thought it was from The Onion at first.
SNL could be good this weekend.

Agree with myiq2xu.
Her work in Santa Claus Conquers the Martians is the stuff of legends.
Don't fail us now, Joseph. Come up with a likely CIA connection, please!

Some excellent commentary:

On a positive note, this does prove that Europeans are just as stupid as Americans.
Or... Perhaps the world really isn't the way you see it, and, though some of your assessments are correct, many are, well... askew.
Damn Joseph, you do have a knack for "reaching back".
Well done. Ihad forgotten about lil' ol' Pia, and her interesting saga.
I also agree with Myiq, and she certainly was a hell-of-a-lot cuter.
In other news, the IOC has announced that it will be awarding the Ski Jump gold medal to Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards for his inspiring speech about his intent to "jump the farthest".
I'll bet even Obama said "WTF!?"
We must have the Nobel Prize committee members drug-tested immediately.

Can they test for Kool-aid?
I just look for the Red Dye #2 smile
Nixon didn't get the NPB; that was Henry the K.
