nobel peace prize

Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo is going to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize Friday, because “peace” apparently is now a synonym for “toiling in vain for democracy.” China does not like this very much, as Liu is sitting in one of their prisons, so they decided to make their very own peace prize. According to [...]

There has only been one president in American History who was clearly headed for impeachment and conviction and removal from office: Richard Nixon, the worst crook to ever slither inside the White House. Even four decades later — and after many of his loathsome henchmen went on to scheme and manipulate within another four Republican [...]

This Obama. He won a $1.4 million cash bonus with his comical Nobel Peace Prize, and instead of buying all sorts of cool Blu-Rays and CDs and porno — which would be unconstitutional, but who cares about that old fishwrapper anymore? — he gives it to “the needy.” Probably just more union thugs and the [...]

Oh sure, it’s a big honor to get the Nobel Peace Prize, but the banquet and the deejay are just as lame as any affair involving old white rich people wearing suits. Here’s Barack and Michelle, America’s top dancers, enjoying whatever is going on here, probably at about three in the afternoon, which is nighttime [...]

Even more “win” for Fox News, which is so incompetent with polls at this point that it cannot get its own yes-or-no questions correct. DO YOU LOVE OBAMA? NO, I LOVE HIM. [Fox News]

Did you hear that Obama’s Nobel Prize acceptance speech was his clearest formulation of the “Obama Doctrine” to date? Because that’s what every pundit is saying! Every president needs his own Military Doctrine, and sure, this’ll do.

If the Phillies win the World Series, Charles Schumer will give Arlen Specter a cheesecake and Kristen Gillibrand. BUT, if the Phillies lose the World Series, Charles Schumer will give Arlen Specter Kristen Gillibrand. Quite the wager. [The Caucus] Remember that part in the Bible — Chapter 3? — when Jesus decides to clothesline a [...]

It is Hell-o-ween come early, children. Gather ’round, for Dame Peggington Noonington, chief word-writer for the notable Wall Street Journal banking pamphlet, hath composed a Second Weekly Article, doubleth her normal output. She worketh harder than most humans. It is her Duty and she shall performeth it, in times of national crisis, such as it [...]

Now New York Times conservo-bot Ross Douthat DOESN’T THINK it was the worst thing ever for Obama to accept that Nobel Peace Prize, like those ideological conservatives do — those conservatives are so crazy and nuts;, he’s not like them! — but he does think, you know, maybe they have a point?? Maybe they’re on [...]

Barbara Boxer sees Brad Woodhouse’s “Republicans = Taliban” and raises him a “Republicans, namely Michael Steele = Taliban + Hamas,” which is true, but not really because of Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize.

Some of the most ominous words you can read on the entire Washington Internet are, “Quick takes by The Post’s opinion writers.” The Washington Post has an entire blog for this sort of thing. Usually it is just like, “Wait, what happened? Oh my god you better bomb it immediately!” All other posts are the [...]

CBS’ Chip Reid, who loves such things as Dick Cheney, is furious at the White House and Robert Gibbs for essentially giving Barack Obama the Nobel Peace Prize, and then accepting it. Where’s Ronald Reagan’s Prize? Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, and Barack Obama — all gays.

So! Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize this morning and everyone on Earth—and the moon, way 2 stick it out moon!—could not be more surprised. Look at Robert Gibbs, just cold saying “wow” on a Twitter thing belonging to CBS person Mark Knoller! And “Erick Erickson,” some sort of retarded cousin of Robbie Robertson and [...]
