Eric Holder is one of 18 finalists for the American Mustache Institute’s Robert Goulet Memorial Mustached American of the Year. It’s a serious honor, said Abraham Froman Jr., CEO of the St. Louis-based organization, which is dedicated to promoting acceptance of “mustached Americans.” About 100 people were nominated by online visitors. The institute’s staff of certified mustacheologists narrowed the nominees down to 18 finalists, Froman told Main Justice in an interview. “It’s not just about [Holder's] mustache. It’s about what it represents,” according to Froman, who cited Holder’s visibility as a member of the Obama administration. “It brings a sense of pride to people of mustached-American descent.” Having someone so high up in politics representing the mustache-minority population “gives [other mustached Americans] something to aspire to,” Froman said. Another finalist is White House senior advisor David Axelrod, who, it so happens, graduated from Stuyvesant High School in New York City in 1972, three years before Holder did. “David Axelrod was the mustache behind the election of the first African-American president,” Froman said, explaining Axelrod’s historical significance. mainjustice.com

In a way, this is good. It's so outrageous that it would gag a maggot. This is right up there with Yasir Arafat's. Or Jimmy Carter's. What's especially good about it so far is that it comes while SNL's line "My accomplishments to date are 'JACK' and 'SQUAT'" is still sounding in everybody's ears. Who would have thought we would see the day that SNL represented sober judgement, by comparison to the Nobel committee?

Pope to Canonize him. Not this Pope but maybe the next one.

The stunning choice made Obama the third sitting U.S. president to win the Nobel Peace Prize and shocked Nobel observers because Obama took office less than two weeks before the Feb. 1 nomination deadline. Wow... just barely made it. The man must have accomplished more than we know during the election campaign. Can they award a Nobel prize for secret/classified achievements?... LOL.

When I saw the front page this morning, I figured The Onion had acquired the NY Times.

President Chance has an honorable course available to escape this misjudgement: Refuse the prize. Like Serena declaring her own foot fault if it was missed by the line umpire.
