I had some hopes for the election of Obama. Not in terms of what he would or wouldn't do as president, but maybe the idiotic focus on the president as the font of all good/evil that was prevalent in the Bush years would lessen. At least, it couldn't be worse, right?

It's worse.

Sorry, Bill Ayers - the author of Dreams from My Father - was born an American citizen so the book isn't eligible.

no way dude. Obama was limned to the casting mold of Bush.

You know, cher, it occurs to me that perhaps you could have the decency to do as Marcel did, i.e. to wait till his Mom died before telling us what he really thought.

I think they gave him the prize as an attempt to spur more humanitarian policies in the future. Remember that he has big decisions on Afghanistan and climate change coming very soon.

Attendee: Brought peace?
Reg: Oh, peace - shut up!

Freedom is slavery, was is peace etc.

If there was a Nobel prize for satire then I could view this as a fix, but I'm lost.
