To my more liberal friends:
Take this tongue-in-cheek. I wrote it lump-in-throat...
Today is my birthday. yeah yeah. Special day. Big wow.
It WAS a special day until I got wind of the biggest disaster since 9/11. Really. I'm not exaggerating. I'd never do that in a zillion years.
Today, on MY special day, some Norwegian knuckleheads awarded Obama the Nobel peace prize.
Huh?
It's almost as crazy as if NASA decided to send a rocket to the moon to blow it up.
Wait. That happened, too. Really.
Still, when I went to Google Maps today, before learning all of these shocking stories, I already knew the world was off its axis...
I needed a route to visit my friend in Sarasota next week. The map route is several miles off kilter from the roads. I tried many times this morning to get a good map, but all I could get was this evidence that the world is about to end.
In retrospect, I think that Obama can be blamed for knocking the world off its axis, not the moon blowing up. But that's just me??
As of this hour, the maps are working again, & the moon is still there, but we'll see a couple big pimples on the Man On The Moon's face tonight & forevermore.
As for Obama, that will go down as one of the top questions I have for God on judgment day. Why? God, why???????
fyi, the map should look like:
update: Adding insult to injury, the nominations for the Nobel peace prize close on February 1. So he was on the nomination list 13 days into his presidency. And within a month he was kept on the short list.
ReplyDeleteThis is just like the modern trend in school sports. Kids are being given ribbons for showing up on race day. WINNERS don't get special treatment. Everyone gets a prize. I guess that's the criteria for the Nobel prize. Show up.
