Bradley Manning nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

People are upset.

Personally I couldn’t care less.  Well maybe a little less since I am writing this post, but you know what I mean;

The Nobel Peace Prize is a joke and has been for years.  The committee members have completely abandoned Alfred Nobel’s mandate in the interest of just trying to piss off America with each years selection.  That has been true since they nominated Yasser Arafat, so we shouldn’t be surprised that Manning is being considered.  This is especially true since any buttwipe with a PhD can make the actual nomination.  It’s not like the nominees have to write essay’s like 6th graders trying to win a date with Justin Bieber.  If they did then Jose Padilla would be guaranteed the win with his prison ink and crayon entry of

 “Why I deserve the No Bell Piece Prize by Jose Padilla – I deserve The No Bell Piece Prize becuze I tried to dirtee bomb Amerika.  Thank Yu”

On the other hand that would still be more deserving than President Obama’s award.  At least Padilla did something.

(I will admit that occasionally they get it right.  I maintain that is because they haven’t sobered up before voting in those years)
