Nobility of the Nobel

No one could have been more surprised than I, upon hearing that HO had been awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace.

Of course, I first heard of it at the coffee shop, and when my friend started telling the story, early Friday morning, I sat there looking at him, waiting for the punch line. Seriously. I thought he was telling a joke. Unfortunately, you know the rest of the story.

However, it didn't take me long to recover. I thought about some of the other recipients, and actually started to feel much better. I began to see that the nobility, if indeed it ever existed, of the Nobel Peace Prize, had eroded over the years. Seems to me, it's become just another piece of hollywood glitteratzi.

The money associated with it would be handy, but when you hold the most powerful office in the world, what's a million bucks? Certainly, nothing to stimulate the economy...of the nation, at any rate. Would certainly stimulate mine.

As you probably know by now, the senate finance committee passed the healthScare bill today. I noted in reading about it, that they claim to be cutting the costs, and project (today)an $829 billion budget for the first ten years. NO WAY. When has the government ever been right on a budget? Take medicare for instance. And, BTW, I noted they're saying now, that they plan to cover MOST Americans. They've already abandoned ALL Americans, and they haven't even finished voting yet.

Take anything they've ever had a hand in. The government is always late, always over-priced, and always lying. We should know that by now. The government creates one thing...chaos and debt. Okay. That's two things. With the able assistance of the greenies and labor unions, the government is going to drive this country into oblivion, if we stand by and let them.

Right now, we still have a slim chance of hanging on. Every able bodied, and able minded person out there needs to be calling, writing and e-mailing their senators and representatives, demanding they vote down this disastrous bill floating through the house...or rather, being rammed through the house, and down our throats.

Eighteen or nineteen years ago, I heard Clinton talking. I knew he would be a disaster. I heard snippets of HO's talk at the democrat convention, and I knew he would be their next candidate. Yeah, yeah. Why am I not out there winning lotteries and picking winners every weekend? Well, I just had a feeling. I didn't really think we were dense enough to elect HO, but I was wrong. White guilt and uneducated youth, plus only half a team for the Republican ticket, ushered him right in. Lack of experience made no difference. Associations with terrorists meant nothing. Lack of citizenship meant and still means nothing. Call me a birther, but why has the SOB spent a million bucks keeping his BC hidden?

Friend of mine recently needed a copy of his birth certificate. Took him a few days to receive it, after paying a nominal fee, and sending a copy of his license. You know what I'm saying.

I had to look up the spelling of "nineteen" while ago. It just didn't look right. When I looked in my trusty OED, it opened up right to Nobel Prize. Really. The next word after that, in my copy of the OED, was nobility. Of course, I thought that was a bit serendipitous.

Kick the bums out.

Come on 2010. Let's get started.
