NOBEL PEACE PRIZE (AGAIN) - The Clown Show Goes On.

That's 'Again' because on October 22, 2007, I posted a blog entry titled "THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE IS A CLOWN SHOW." You can read it at your leasure.

But this latest winner says it all. In ten years we have winners Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, and now Barack Hussein Obama. What did any of them do to promote peace? Where's Ronald Reagan (Ending the cold war and helping bring down the Berlin wall), George H.W. Bush (who liberated Kuwait), George W. Bush (who liberated Iraq and ended, at least for a decade or more, that regime's support of global terrorism), or - if you'd like a liberal candidate - Bill Clinton, who bombed Christians so that Muslims could prevail in Bosnia / Kosovo? Not saying this latter was necessarily a bad thing, but the dispassionate history has yet to be written about it.

Still. Peace? More immediately, what has Barack Hussein Obama done to promote peace? Anything at all? Can anyone point to something? Because I confess, folks, that your friendly Ostrich Killer can't think of anything, unless you count dissing our former allies and cozying up to our enemies. But maybe you can. If so, leave a comment. If you're thinking of referring to the Nobel committee's specifics to come up with a reason or two, good luck. You'll be blinded by their obfuscatory rhetoric. But then, English is probably their second language . . .

THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE IS A CLOWN SHOW

Okay, maybe not in all categories. Anything science-related is probably worthy of pride if one is awarded the Nobel. Even the Economics prize is worth an extra hat size for the winner.

But the Peace prize is a farce of the most astonishing sort.

Take Algore getting the Nobel Peace award for producing a fantasy film. Even if what the film depicted were remotely true or plausible, how does it relate to peace? But Algore is not the only puzzling prize winner. He is no exception. Review the list for yourself and see. Peace? Only sporadically - seemingly at random - do the prize-winning actions of a winner intersect with an improvement in the potential for world peace.

Here is what appears to be the recipe for awarding the Peace prize:
1. The award of the prize must fractionally destabilize the world further.
2. The prize may be awarded for any action that does not fit the other Nobel prize categories.
3. Where convenient, the award of the prize should prove an affront to most Americans.

How else do you explain Algore and Jimmy Carter getting the prize, but not Ronald Reagan, under whose watch the Berlin wall came down and the Soviet empire began to unravel?

But you can draw your own conclusions. Review the list and think about it.

Your friendly ostrich killer is returning to his lair.
