Obama won the fuckin' Nobel Peace Prize?! Where's my Miss Universe crown?

Seriously? Holy crap. You usually have to spend a decade or so killing people before you get one of those. They usually don't give 'em out in anticipation of killing people, or just at the tip of your death iceberg. Zero has changed since Bush left office... at least zero for the better. We're ramping up drone attacks in two countries that can't attack us and which we haven't declared war against, we're threatening Iran and Venezuela, we've ramped up military aid to Colombia, we're tacitly supporting the coup in Honduras, nothing has changed with Israel/Palestine, we have another record amount of spending on weapons this year even as unemployment soars, most of the economy flatlines and our federal deficit is huge. We continue occupying Iraq and building permanent bases there. We still have the world's largest nuclear arsenal and we have military bases in most of the world's countries. Guantanamo is still open for business.

And this clown wins the fuckin' Nobel Peace Prize?

After you give these things to Henry Kissinger, Rabin and Arafat, Woordow Wilson and Teddy "Shoot the Swarthy Spaniard in the Gut" Roosevelt, parody lies bleeding.

Here's a short encapsulation of why this is a 1984-level doublespeak decision from Paul Craig Roberts, a member of the Reagan Administration who is in effect far to the left of Obama. Consider that for a moment...

Here, if only to confirm my own sanity, are a few images from the past few months of the O-bomber bringing peace to the world:
