And the Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize is?

On October 9, 2009, The Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded 44th elected United States President Barack Obama with the Nobel Peace Prize for his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." Upon hearing this amazing press release, I began to violently choke on a small piece of warm, yellow corn bread, and my tongue literally dropped on the floor. The irony of it all was blending a Nobel "Peace" Prize title with a hint of declaring war on Afghanistan less than two months later.

I was simply amazed within my fragile spirit that Mr. President had received such an honor before actually fulfilling any promises yet to be fulfilled. Now I will give the Nobel Committee a break, there was no way to tell the future two short months later, but what I will not let off the hook consists of the following, what has Barack Obama done in the past year to receive this award? If long talks and failed promises gives you an opportunity for receiving the award, where do I sign up at?

Why don't we give a Nobel Peace Check to the many ailing states that are in a major crisis? Why don't we open up Nobel Peace Jobs so countless unemployed workers across the land of the free can actually buy some groceries without going to bed at night, wondering if next month they will have to reside in a seedy, ten cent motel? Many are the "economic" problems spoken from the fat horses mouth, and the same fat mouth is stealing the hay from the many horses just trying to survive.

Another shocking atrocity I witnessed on National T.V. was that Mr. Presidents dog, who is named Bo, actually has a Christmas stocking upon the bright lit fire place, and it is filled with Christmas gifts, courtesy of Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Taxpayer. Of all the atrocities I have seen, like de-funked 90's band Wilson Phillips hiring extra security for a concert that nobody attended, and Anna Nicole Smith's confession of undying love for a 1000 year old man, this gem has to pipe the whipped cream on the pie of forbidden atrocities. I mean really, a dog has a stocking and there are people in Alabama who are denied food stamps because they made ten cents too much that month!??

The Uncompromisable Truth to it all is that people who do nothing and care for nothing usually end up with everything, and those that do care, or want to make a difference, they are left with the ever decreasing short end of the broken stick. The Nobel Peace Prize is suppose to go to, and I quote, "a person shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses." I am sure Alfred Nobel would turn over one hundred and fifty times in his grave if he found out the committee was issuing the award out like state IOU tax returns.

And that, my friends, is The Uncompromisable Truth.
