What more is there to say of this silly award than that the nominations closed two weeks into the term of this Senate no show, who never put down his briefcase long enough to do any work before he started to run for President?
And we know he amounted to not much more than present during his time in Chicago. He knows it, which was at least part of his reason for snubbing his hosts.
Barack Obama and colleagues gather at the water cooler where he was presented with his Zero Years of Service Award. Image courtesy of Michelle Malkin. He went dutifully back to filling the vending machines when the ceremony was done. yawn....
In honor of President Barack Obama’s acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize, I think we should declare today Happy National Post-Achievement Day. What award or honor don’t you deserve? Claim it. What unearned prize for unmet aspirations would you like to give yourself? Declare it.


I have been thinking of writing a smashing fantastic 'History of the Genius of Our President' and getting the The Pulitzer Prize for History. Well, there's no sense in waiting, they might as well as give me the prize right now. Of course, I'm far too important to go to any acceptance ceremony, they can just stop by my place, grovel at my feet, take pictures and leave the gold medal on the coffee table. The check should be deposited into my account directly.
Later today I will think about running for a Senate seat in one of our 57 states.

"who never put down his briefcase long enough to do any work before he started to run for President?"
Who never published a scholarly paper before being named head of the Harvard Law review.
Why, you could fill a thick book with the wonderful things he's never done.

LOL, xerocky! But you're right. I can't believe I was wrong when I said there was no way Obama could win the election, but I was wrong. People voted for change, but I bet most of them wanted a very different sort of change.
