On October - 9 - 2009
I’ve just suddenly flashed back to an 80s sitcom called Love Sidney, in which the late Tony Randall played a fussy bachelor who took in Swoozie Kurtz as a single mother. One episode had a dream sequence in which Randall’s character reveals he’s won the Nobel Peace Prize.
“For what?” asks Ms. Kurtz’s character, astonished.
“For being a nice guy,” replies Randall.
That pretty much sums up my reaction to this news of President Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Let me quote from the official press release:

Actually, the One’s inauguration took place on January 20th, 2009… meaning it was only 11 days until the nominations closed on February 1st, 2009. Evidently, Obama’s mere presence was sufficient.
Cool Blue observed on the Phantom Observer’s blog, Obama and Obama-mania officially “jumped the shark” although I would suggest it was the Nobel selection committee who did the jumping…
