e-mail from a friend:

How to ruin a Friday 101......wake up and find out that Mr. Socialism is a Nobel Peace Prize winner...Makes a guy want to call in sick, sit on the couch all day, order sh*t on QVC with no way of paying for it, call my credit card company and complain that they tricked me into carrying a huge balance, call my bank and beg for a new loan on my house that I should not be in, find a way to get laid off and get paid for 92 weeks. Let's start the weekend off right and find a way to blame EVERYONE else for my screw ups.......Welcome to the new America, the land that used to be the home of the brave but now is known as the home of BLAME !!!!

Well, Nobel Was the Inventor of Dynamite, After All

Sometimes you run across a story that defies all comment, rational analysis -- even parody. This is one of those times:

In Surprise, Nobel Peace Prize to Obama for Diplomacy (NYT).

To give a peace prize to the commander-in-chief of a war machine now churning its way through the populations of three countries (Iraq/Af-Pak), with innumerable black ops, lightning raids and drone shots on the side .... to a man who even as we speak is deciding just how he wants to kill even more civilians in Afghanistan and Pakistan ... a man who has enthusiastically embraced as "an extraordinary achievement" one of the most heinous and barbaric acts of military aggression since Hitler rolled across the border into Poland ... a man who blusters about leaving "all options on the table," including the use of mass-murdering nuclear weapons, to bully other nations into compliance with American wishes ... to give a peace prize to such a man, while all over the world, there are men and women who have devoted their entire lives to non-violence and reconciliation, many of them suffering imprisonment, torture and ruin for their efforts ... well, like I said, it's beyond words.

But it's good to see that the spirit of arms merchant Alfred Nobel -- purveyor and profiteer of death and destruction -- is being honored so perfectly with today's award.
