Inconceivable
Vizzini: “Inconceivable”
Inigo Montoya: “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it
means.” -The Princess Bride 1987
By now the world has devolved into parody. While Barack Obama dithers on whether to support our
troops in Afghanistan, has his administration contemplating abandoning the dollar in preference to a
world currency, relinquishes American control of the Internet to a world filled with tyrants that want
nothing more than to crack down on the freedom of ideas, he managed to score a Nobel peace prize.
The Drudge headline said it all: “For What?!” It is inconceivable that a man with no discernible
accomplishments could be awarded anything. He managed to win an election with no
accomplishments- had done nothing before the election, and has done nothing since, that would rate
the approbation of anyone. The deadline for the nominations for the Nobel peace prize was eleven
days after the election. The selection of the winner comes just nine months into the disastrous
calamity of a Democratic led federal government.
It was immediately obvious to anyone who follows news in a serious manner that this was Swedish
socialists promoting an American socialist. Obama now joins other socialist approved award winners
Jimmy Carter and Al Gore. All three share one thing in common beyond a complete lack of
accomplishment. They are not George W. Bush.
For it is President Bush that all three nominees received the award as international socialists wished to
rebuke everything he stood for. Bush freed millions of Iraqis from bondage and set them forward
towards democracy. Carter consigned millions of Iranians to bondage and Obama picked up the flag
by ignoring millions of Iranians who protested for freedom. Obama also can receive credit along with
the leading Democrats for protesting Honduras saving their country from another Chavez type
takeover. Al Gore, on the other hand, got his prize for the new religion of global warming/climate
change, and for the fact that socialists believe he should have been successful in stealing the presidency
when he wasn't.
But the awarding of the prize isn't having the effect European socialists had hoped. Instead of showing
backward Americans the error of their freedom loving ways, instead of showing us the path to better
behavior in the eyes of European socialists, it provoked a huge gust of laughter that has stretched from
one end of the Internet to the other. Within hours blogs were vying for the best headline for the
president and the best joke on the award. What the Nobel committee managed to do in one single
announcement, was to make the committee, the peace prize, and the president absurd. Here are a
sample of the headlines:

Yea, the award now means as much as being the tenth caller at the local radio station. Reagan freed
Eastern Europe. No prize there. The first Bush freed Kuwait. No prize there. The second Bush freed
Iraq. No prize there. Obama did……nothing. Gets a prize. Below is from the Nobel web site:
Nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize
Every year, the Norwegian Nobel Committee sends out thousands of letters inviting qualified people
to submit their nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize. The names of the nominees and other
information about the nominations cannot be revealed until 50 years later.
In 1956, the most recent year nominees for the award have been released, candidates included
American Margaret Sanger, Spanish musician Pablo Casals and German Gertrude Baer for her
work in the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. No winner was eventually
named, as was the case in 1955.
It seems that Margaret Sanger was nominated for pushing abortion among minorities and for founding
Planned Parenthood that has carried on that goal. Yasar Arafat got the award for embezzling foreign
aid and for killing Jews. Yup, I think I understand the value of a Nobel now, it is for laughs. It
certainly isn't something you want to be known for.
