Wow – don’t hold back,Frank. Seriously, don’t hold back! I loved it! Even Peggy Noonan, who went over to the dark side awhile ago, thinks the esteeemed committee made a mistake.

“Useless Left-Wing Idiot of the Year”

Useful Left-Wing Idiot of the Year?

Left-Wing & Idiot were found redundant by my Editor, but my ego prevailed

This could be filed under the ‘O-bah-muhh Is So Useless And Ineffective…’Post.
…So useless and ineffective that Euro-Moonbats awarded him the Nobel Appeasement Prize

O-bah-muhhz Appeasement Prize has increased my valuation of my childrens’ Kindergarten Graduation Certificate tenfold.
At least they accomplished something of lasting value.

Obama just won an Academy Award for the year 2014. Apparently, he’s going to make a movie promoting communism someday – it will contain a juvenile slide show and be a factual farce – but the academy already knows that when The One makes it they will love it. So, congratulations academy award winner Barack Hussein.

Winning the Nobel Peace Prize is now the equivalent of winning a bowling trophy….it merely proves you have done something of absolutely no value to anyone….better than anyone else!

Good job Frank, way to carry the IMAO banner. You are our Fearless Leader……. question, does that make Harvey Boris Badenov and then who is Natasha Fatale and Mr Big? Inquiring minds want to know.

Obama is the greatest president the US has seen in a long time. Just look what he has done for the sale of firearms and ammunition. How the Nobel commitee equates US firearms sales with world peace makes me say ‘Hunh.’ On the other hand, there was a popular motto painted everywhere when I was in the Army, “Peace through Superior Firepower.” So I guess Peace through Superior Numbers of Firearms will do just fine.

Maybe he’ll follow through with donating the money… to the NRA.

In breaking news, a statement was released today by the Nobel Prize Committee, in support if it’s shocking announcement of one of next years winners.

“The previous administrations in the US have falsely required and overcharged, for unnecessary, needless, and contrived costs to the common man for artificial appendix, and artificial tonsil removal operation procedures. These previously unknown crimes against society are new terms invented by next years 2010 winner of the Nobel prize for medicine, Mr. Barak Hussein Obama (aka Barry Sotero).”

Excellent, oh Column King!

I watched We Were Soldiers Once…And Young, for the first time recently, and there was this excellent piece of business in it where Sam Elliott, in three encounters with one of the junior officers (2 at camp, 1 on the battlefield), shows the officer what “a good day” really is for a soldier. The soldier’s reaction is priceless each time, and the last time, very sad.

Didn’t think that could be topped, and it hasn’t been yet, but something you said in this column sure matches it as a bookend:

Peace is fairly subjective — subjective to the point of being imaginary. Some would say peace is achieved by beating back a merciless enemy while others say it’s achieved by non-violently submitting to the enemy. And since we’re never exactly sure how far we are from another war, it’s a somewhat fleeting thing too. It might as well be made up…”

Yes!

The top two reasons Obama deserves the award:

1. Completely contrary to his campaign rhetoric, Obama has maintained troop stregnth in Iraq. So far, at least, he has not fumbled the ball there.

2. After all the hemming and hawing, he’s going to conduct a troop surge in Afghanastan. (I think the hemming and hawing is bad for troop moral, so I wish he’d cut that crap, but he knows that this is the only way forward).
