Obama awarded 2009 Nobel Peace Prize

[Bobskunk]

Yasser, that's my baby

If you don't understand Nobel Peace Prize then you are beyond reach. That is OK. Perception is often more important than reality. Your team just won the Super Bowl. Celebrate instead of wondering why the ref threw a flag on your lineman in the 1st quarter.

This is a group of five politically involved individuals who are appointed by the Norwegian Parliament. This was a swipe at American Exceptionalism, and strictly a political statement. Yasser Arafat was one of their ridiculous choices. Unfortunately, as an award, it is pointless.

I also don't know why those who are so opposed to Obama are upset by this award. They need to consider the committee, its political bent, and realize that it is a non-event.

That's what they use to make the red lines.

Clever

contrary to anyone's political bent, the nobel is not a non-event. how about man of the year award by time? any connection here, or would you only like to compare arafat to obama only?

Thanks Bob

Bob, I had forgotten why I have not been on SoWal.com for weeks. Thanks for reminding me as to why that's the case.

I am not comparing President Obama to Arafat. I am only stating that they both are Nobel Peace Prize Winners. We both live in South Walton, but I am not comparing myself to you. My comment was about the award more than the recipient.

The "Time" Person of The Year award is for newsworthiness, and is not an necessarily an award for doing something positive.

I am not sure why I am explaining this to you.

you can try to back up all you want, but you already typed the words. i showed you another weak analogy.

John was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young
layers (hens), called 'pullets,' and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs.
He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup
pot and was replaced.
This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached
them to his roosters.
Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance,
which rooster was performing.
Now, he could sit on the porch And fill out an efficiency report by
just listening to the bells.
John's favorite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but
this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all!
When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, could
run for cover.
To John's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it
couldn't ring.
He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one.
John was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the Renfrew County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell
Piece Prize but they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well.
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a
politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our
planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they
weren't paying attention.

I just received this in an email from a friend yesterday and thought about sharing it here, but didn't think it would be taken in its humourous light.

You're brave, indeed~~~~~
