MANIFESTO

"Why?"

— Mrs. Monocle upon being informed that the POTUS
had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize

The decision seems to have been based on the fact that BO isn't his predecessor and has some very nice thoughts on how the world should go. Well, cripes, I have many of those same thoughts, and, like XLIV, I'm a former Time mgazine Person of the Year, and I don't see a bunch of Norwegians knocking on my door.

(I wonder what he'll do with the money.)

UPDATE — Bob Reich has more.
