"The wealthy, not only by private fraud but also by common laws, do every day pluck and snatch away from the people some part of their daily living. Therefore, when I consider and weigh in my mind these commonwealths which nowadays do flourish, I perceive nothing but a certain conspiracy of rich men in procuring their own commodities under the name and authority of the commonwealth.

They invent and devise all means and crafts, first how to keep safely without fear of losing that which they have unjustly gathered together, and next how to hire and abuse the work and labor of the people for as little money and effort as possible."

I'd like to thank the Academy...


The Nobel committee issued a clarification explaining that Obama was actually awarded the "Rest In Peace Prize", in recognition of becoming the most prolific active killer on the planet and thereby ushering so many human beings beyond this vale of tears to their eternal rest.  "By helping thousands of men, women, and children achieve ultimate peace, and showing every sign that he intends to do the same for thousands more, Barack Obama has truly earned this prestigious award."-John Caruso (A Distant Ocean)

Sur-Prize, Sur-Prize!!

A Nobel, who’d a thunk it? For peace! So... let me get this straight, Obomba whose administration is now contemplating the delivery of an additional 40,000 troops to the Af/Pak war of conquest while garrisoning thousands more in permanent mega bases surrounding the cites of illegally occupied Iraq... is deserving of a Nobel? For peace?

I’ll tell you the truth, I’m far more amused by the nervous twitter from the war profiteers and their media mouthpieces who fear the Obomb’s hands may be tied by the rising expectations of a peace dividend from those around the world living in the vain hope that the US will no longer behave as a rogue state. They needn’t have worried. Take this from Obomba’s Nobel acceptance speech:

“I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations to confront the common challenges of the 21st century.
Now, these challenges can't be met by any one leader or any one nation. And that's why my administration's worked to establish a new era of engagement in which all nations must take responsibility for the world we seek. We cannot tolerate a world in which nuclear weapons spread to more nations and in which the terror of a nuclear holocaust endangers more people”


As John Caruso of The Distant Ocean points out the Barockstar used his ACCEPTANCE SPEECH FOR THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE to reiterate his administration’s threats against Iran. Threats by the way which include the possibility of a nuclear strike against this non-nuclear power. Imagine it, 10 million or more dead Neda’s.

It's a joke, and you're right, Coldie, his threat speech against Iran was great!

The Obama-haters will use it to attack the left and the Obama lovers will say it is a blueprint for the future.

The only good thing i can see is that the Nobel prize means he cannot build up troops in Afganistan.

From your keyboard to my eyes Tom. Welcome.

My instinct goes with those who insist that this event marks the death of satire. If arguably the most prolific active killer on earth is worthy of a Nobel for peace--and this isn't a gag from the Onion...

My analytical side suggests, however, that the award marks an attempt by those in the international community who hope to test the Prince of Hope and Change's bona fides as the champion of peace he campaigned on. That explains the awkward response from the Obama administration to this "gift" which struck like a bolt of lightning from the clear blue. O-bomb and the oligarchy he serves have some bloody plans for Central Asia and the Middle East, this is the last thing they need.

So I suspect you may be on to something Lefty because it doesn't make for good copy if the newly minted Nobel laureate is overseeing the escalation of the Af/Pak slaughter, not that our rulers would let mere public perception stand in the way of their plans.
