The Nobel Peace Prize for subverting America

****It's the reductio ad absurdum of the politicization of the Norwegians' dislike for traditional American values. It's in the spirit of awards to Jimmy Carter (specifically stated to be a slap at Bush), Gore, Kofi Annan, El Baradei, Arafat et al.Even Hitler is said to have been nominated.****

THE NOBEL PRIZE TO OBAMA: EUROPE'S BID TO RE-COLONIZE AMERICA
By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN...
The Great Onion
****The Onion has achieved superstar status.Yoda's first thought on seeing this morning's news was that it was a headline from the Onion. We were not alone:Life Imitates the Onion Imitating Life
• "Gore Wins Oscar, Nobel Peace Prize for Slide-Show Presentation"--headline, Onion, Dec. 18, 2007
• "When I saw this morning's top New York Times headline--'Barack Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize'--I had the same immediate reaction which I'm certain many others had: this was some kind of bizarre Onion gag that got accidentally transposed onto the wrong website, that it was just some sort of strange joke someone was playing."--Glenn Greenwald, Salon.com, Oct. 9, 2009
• "Maybe it was because I saw the headline early this morning not on the N.Y. Times's website or the Wall Street Journal's, but rather on Google News. I instantly assumed that the Onion had successfully landed a story on the home page of that fine aggregator. "Barack Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize," the headline said. I chuckled, silently congratulated the Onion on its clever idea, and clicked the link."--Stephen Dubner, New York Times Web site, Oct. 9, 2009
• "I woke up, read the New York Times website and thought I had come to the Onion instead. I hit refresh. Still there: 'Obama Wins Nobel for Diplomacy.' "--Richard Kim, The Nation Web site, Oct. 9, 2009//
