Tin Plate Medals for Good Little Socialists.

By now most everyone has heard that President Hussein has been awarded The Nobel Peace Prize. By now, quite a few people the world over are scratching their heads thinking:

"W.T.F?"

I mean, really. Gandhi, Mother Theresa, and the Pope are people who win international peace prizes. A basketball organizer from Chicago who uses verbal hypnosis in his campaign speeches all the way to the white house, who is sworn into office only two weeks prior to the deadline for the first nominations for the award, actually receives the prize.

What in the hell has this guy done in the same league as Gandhi and Mother Theresa? In only two weeks, no less? I'll even go so far as saying that Nelson Mendella, a prominent liberal, has done a multitude of things more to deserve a Nobel Prize than President Barrack.

Now to be fair, they don't give the award to just anybody. Only the most popular socialists and Marxists receive the award. Left wing popularity is key, you know.

What little respect I had at all for the Nobel Prize committee has vanished. What was once an institution with at least some modicum of good intention has now degenerated into a rubber-stamp ratifier of Liberal popularity, never mind any kind of worthiness. They are a propaganda organization now, nothing more.

Say What, Now?

During his candidacy, Barack Obama attended a luncheon honoring a certain gay military officer for his support of homosexuals in the military. At one point in the program, the audience arose and saluted the officer. Barack stubbornly stayed still in his chair.

When asked why he refused to stand and salute, Obama said:

"Oh! I'm sorry! I thought you said FLAG..."

A certain Republican candidate did poorly in the 2008 elections, and went to consult with a fortune teller.

"What do I have to do, to win respect and power in this country?" the candidate asked.

The Fortune Teller gazed long and hard into her crystal ball. After some time, she answered:

"Change your last name to Kennedy, hide your original birth certificate, refuse to salute the flag, and organize youth basketball in Chicago..."

Gospel According to St. Ann

Always good for an awesome quote, let me share with you the latest from Ann Coulter:

I'll accept the results of the presidential election, if you anti-Proposition 8 die-hards in California accept the results of that vote. Earth to protestors: Most Americans oppose gay marriage. On this, even blacks and Mormons are agreed! Why don't you people go find something useful to do?

Could'nah seddit better myself!

They say that Christopher Columbus was the first Democrat. When he left to discover America, he didn't know where he was going. When he got there he didn't know where he was. And it was all done on a government grant.

"Declassified papers report that John Kennedy was taking eight different medications a day. He was so wasted, his Secret Service code name was Ted Kennedy." —Craig Kilborn

"Isn't spring in New York fantastic? The great thing about spring is that it comes once a year, just like a Kennedy trial." —David Letterman

"Jesse Jackson's in trouble. They're going after this tax thing. Jesse said he will amend his taxes to show the money that he paid to his mistress. See, he has just one mistress. Jesse uses the standard mistress deduction. As opposed to Clinton, who had to itemize." —Jay Leno

"It seems Monica Lewinsky is on the loose again, teaming up with HBO to do a documentary about her affair with Bill Clinton. It's not really a documentary. It will be more of an oral history." —Jay Leno

"A student from the University of Washington has sold his soul on eBay for $400. He's a law student, so he probably doesn't need it, but still, that's not very much. Today, Hillary Clinton said, 'Hey, at least I got some furniture and a Senate seat for mine." —Jay Leno

Oh, So THAT's Why..

"The French are a smallish, monkey-looking bunch and not dressed any better, on average, than the citizens of Baltimore. True, you can sit outside in Paris and drink little cups of coffee, but why this is more stylish than sitting inside and drinking large glasses of beer, I don't know."
-- P.J O'Rourke (1989)

**********************************

In a post on her blog, Debbie Schlussel gives a review of the movie "Raping Europa," about the Nazi art plundering in WW2. She makes a comment about the French that I find very interesting:

"We see how the French went out of their way to save various works from the Louvre and smuggle them into the countryside. We meet the French "art resistance" spies who worked for the Nazis at the Louvre, while they secretly reported back to others the fate of various artworks."

"A question not asked in the movie, but which should have been, is why France cared so much about its art, yet so little about its Jews. Sadly, although this movie is fascinating and interesting, its attitude is that saving art is perhaps more important than saving lives (Jewish or not)."

I rest my case.
