WTF???????????????

When even the Associated Press asks why the Nobel Peace Prize was given to Obama, then you know the prize is a joke.  Of course, it's been a joke at least since Yasser Arafat was given the award.  And, as I sit here writing this, I'm listening to various radio reports all asking the same question:  WTF?

Most reports speculate that this is meant to be a slap in the face to George Bush.  I'm inclined to think that this may be a continuation of the inexplicable cult of personality that sprang up around the Obama candidacy.  He was, according to reports, nominated before he even took office.

Just when you think the world cannot get any stranger, a man who has merely voted "Present" for the majority of his career is awarded what was once the most prestigious international award.  WTF?
