Nobel Peace Prizes

If Henry Kissinger and Mikhail Gorbachev can win the Nobel Peace Prize, then I should be able to get a Pulitzer for the new blog category. Imagine what I could do with that award. I'd be famous. Everyone would read my blog and say, "wow! this guy is odd, but eerily intriguing." You're saying that right now aren't you. No? Well, try starting at the beginning of this post and reading aloud this time. If everyone said that then I would be rich. Or maybe if I were rich I could get everyone to say that. It's one or the other I know.

I heard that someone nominated G.W. Bush for a Nobel Peace Prize and at first I couldn't believe it, but then I found out that anyone can nominate anyone else for the prize. I could nominate you and you could nominate that guy with the bumper sticker that says, "My dog ate your honor student." So I wasn't as shocked after that, but maybe that's how Kissinger got the prize. Maybe they were all sarcastic votes like nominating Hitler or Bono. In 1973, people were pretty acerbic. I was only five and I was full of sarcasm, so imagine how the old cynical farts felt. So let's not let sarcasm create a potential confusion for future historians.

What we need is some kind of anti-peace prize.
