It has been a good year for Americans when it comes to "Nobel Prize" winning. Earlier this week, American-born fourth-grader, Johnny Barnes, of Jerusalem, Arkansas was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry. Barnes stunned the world of science by building a really cool mock-up of a volcano that "erupts" when baking soda and vinegar are mixed.
The Nobel Committee in it's proclamation stated that Barnes' research has unlocked many of the mysteries of "chemical reactions" that have stumped chemists for centuries.
And in somewhat related news, Aaron Bradley, of the West Valley Middle School Apaches, in Carlin, NV has been awarded The Heisman Trophy for the 2017 College Football Season!Congratulations Kids!
hahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first read the headline about Obama winning, I thought I was on the Onion website.
Heck, if it really happened, then I am actually going to buy a lottery ticket, because, the world has tipped on its axis and I'm sure to win.
Well, the pieces are all falling together now....
ReplyDeleteIt isn't so much cowardice as self interest that has been driving Obama, I can now see that. He is an actor on the world stage...theater of the absurd.
Now I can see, once he got wind that he was being considered for the Nobel. (The prize comes with a couple of million also, don't forget.) How could he move ahead with a missile defense shield for Europe? He couldn't, it might endanger his chances for the prize.
How could he let things deteriorate and languish in Afghanistan? Well, he couldn't very well announce additional troops, it might endanger his chances at the prize.
Why did he call General McCrystal on the carpet... it's all about the prize.
Why has he turned his back on the dangers in Iran, and kept the Israelis from moving...yep!
So, Mr. President, keep your eye on the prize. It is all about personal aggrandizement after all.
I just hope, that you have a chance to meet with the families of troops killed in Afghanistan, as your predecessor often did, and explain to them that the prize was the most important thing. Winning and protecting them to the best of your ability is not.
I'm disgusted, dismayed, and once again reminded that our President, is, unfortunately, an actor in the theater of the absurd, where his own grand entrance, his own flourish of speech, his own gesture is what it is all about. What have we descended to?
What's with all the indignation? Barry deserved, hell he EARNED the Noballs prize for dipblownmacy.
ReplyDeleteHuh? It was the other one? The one that AlGore cheapened down to the level of a muddy door mat?
Hell...now the Norwegians have dropped the value of their prize -- based on self-esteem, touchy-feely social engineering inert compost -- to the level of a used toilet bowl cleaning brush.
A worn out one.
Stupid Norwegians. Their brains are atrophying to those of door knobs.
Doorknobs are useful! Don't denigrate doorknobs.
ReplyDeleteWalt, I think it might be even worse than that. From what I understand, the voting for this prize happened long ago.
ReplyDeleteIf that is true, it is likely that Obama had gotten the heads-up that he had already won months ago.
Thus, his actions have likely been driven by that knowledge all along, not just the "hope" of winning some stupid prize. That is frightening!
We all know that little children respond to positive reinforcement. He is like a little child that responded on cue. We're screwed!
