Obama Peace Prize

So a lot of people are upset that President Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize. Actually, as of this writing, I do not know for a fact that anyone is upset, I'm just assuming. It's just kind of the way of things. If a car knocked him 50 feet in the air he'd be criticized for leaving the scene of an accident.

I myself am not sure what the president has done recently to earn the peace prize — unless just being President of the United States and at the same time not being George Bush is enough, which it just might be.

But for all those who are offended, I would just ask this: Who else they gonna give it to? Glenn Beck? Does the world have even one somewhat peaceful person left? You got ministers praying for Obama's death. You got half the globe testing nuclear missiles. You got people blowing themselves up in the hopes they can take five more people with them. You got community-help organizations advising teenage girls on the finer business points of prostitution. Everybody hates everybody. Hell, at least Charles Manson hasn't slaughtered anyone lately, give it to him.

My suggestion would be this: Abolish the Nobel Peace Prize. It's outdated, like having a Nobel Price for alchemy. I do remember, barely, the days when people could get along peacefully, but that time has passed. It was fun while it lasted.
