Awards

It's too bad that Catholics don't get their own award show.  That would be fun, and we would have another chance to do some name-dropping.  American Catholics love their name-dropping (if you know one Catholic author, two bishops and ten high-ranking priests, raise your hand!), and it would let some of us less-name-knowing folks have a chance to know what is going on.  The winner can have a $20 gift card to Dress Barn.  As I need something to call this award that doesn't take long to type, I will name it the "Dressy".

This week, the Dressy goes to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee.  Most conservatives would argue that Mr. Obama did not deserve this award.  I agree, but the award did take away the "untouchable" quality that our president has enjoyed so far.  All of a sudden, late-night comedians are not afraid to take jabs at this administration, liberal news media outlets are noticing the amount of work that their prize prezzie is NOT doing, and best of all, none of it can be blamed on race.

Up until that award, any negative comment about our president was viewed as closed-minded and racist.  Now, people are starting to wonder just what has that guy been doing for the last year?  We know he managed to pick out a puppy.  We know that he spoke with some school children.  I wanted to put one more sentence of accomplishment in here, but I can't think of one. 

Next year, the Nobel Prize should go to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee for delivering the one thing that America can agree upon -- the Nobel Peace Prize continues to be nothing more than an atta' boy for anyone furthering (or, in this case, not hindering) the socialist agenda.  Congrats.
