What Price for Obama’s Nobel Prize?
- The Nobel Prize is just a trick by Eurosocialistic Finoscandawegian enviroterrorists to force Obama to do exactly what he’s told to do by the Nobel Prize Committee — namely, to shut down U.S. industry in order to save the world from global warming, even though global warming is, of course, a big fat lie. If Obama doesn’t do this, the Nobel Prize Committee will take back the prize, which really leaves Obama no choice but to do exactly what the committee says.

It’s a political prize. It’s a subjective award voted on by a committee. It makes as much sense to argue over whether an actor “deserved” the Oscar. Since there is no objective measure of “deserve” vs. “not deserve”, it’s a complete waste of time.
Which is no doubt why the right can’t stop talking about it.

The idea that after the Nobel Peace Prize was given to Obama, he’d be beholden to the five committee members to carry out their evil wishes is hilarious! They already gave him the Nobel Peace Prize! What stick would they hold over him – the thought that he might get another?

I’m over here on holiday and ended up having an argument with a rightwing cousin who insists that people from EU countries such as the Czech Republic can show up at the UK, where they must by law be allowed to enter and then can immediately claim welfare benefits that are as generous as those given to UK citizens..

Well, this seems to be saying that you can take your benefits with you, for a time, when you move within the EU (the idea being that you aren’t being penalized (or “penalised”, as they say (PENIS)) but the abuse being that if you live in a relatively expensive place like Ireland with really good benefits you can take a three-month vacation in a relatively inexpensive place like Spain, where you are suddenly (relatively) rich, especially if you like cheap wine (and who doesn’t?)).
Anyway, that doesn’t answer your question. Someone from Czech Republic showing up in the UK can certainly enter but has to be employed continuously for 12 months before getting the same benefits as a citizen. However, if he’s self-employed (or “self-employed”, I guess, I don’t know how they check that) he can get housing benefit and council tax benefit.
Czech Republic and a bunch of other Eastern European countries are A8 members, which are basically not full members — a German citizen in the UK has different (and better) rules for being on the dole. I suppose this is the case to prevent what your cousin is talking about. I mean, if I were an unemployed Czech, I would totally move to the UK and become a welfare Czech.

Those evil Norwegian bastards have planted the seeds of America’s tree of destruction.
“Who are these folks issuing Obama a prize on credit to steer America along their preferred course? The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by a committee of five Norwegians, whose members are appointed by the parliament of Norway. Ever heard of Thorbjorn Jagland? Active for decades in the Socialist International, a collectivist who navigated a long series of embarrassing moments in Norwegian politics to become current Secretary-General of the Council of Europe, Jagland now heads the Norwegian Nobel Committee. His fellow members who have just issued this Nobel IOU to a sitting American president are — are we ready for global policy guided by this crowd? – Kaci Kullman Five, Sissel Marie Ronbeck, Inger-Marie Ytterhorn and Agot Valle.”

Don’t always trust the shorter. Sometimes the original is funnier.
“Whatever Obama’s instincts to sign on wholesale, one might hope they would be balanced by the realities of the huge cost and burden this would impose on Americans. This is what hangs in the balance for the overlapping crew of U.N. and Scandinavian gurus who have carved out a profitable niche for themselves as doom-saying oracles of world weather. If Obama was in any way put off by the Olympic slap in Copenhagen last week, Norway has just handed him a feel-good consolation prize; a message that he can return to Scandinavia without losing face.”
I wouldn’t want to show up in Scandinavia with out my face, just saying.

“…Oil-for-Food mushroomed into the most massively corrupt endeavor in the history of humanitarian relief. And of course there was the Nobel in 2006 for the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Mohamed El Baradei – who, if he deserves any award, really ought to get one from Tehran for his convenient and apparently endless existential doubts over the Iranian bomb program. ”
While determinedly getting stuff wrong, and missing the point, are two of the time-honored ways to obtain winger cred, she outperforms most of her fellows right there. The goddamned Wall Street Journal told of how American oil companies profited from that program — with no known complaint from the oil-industry insiders in the White House, ahem — back in those days. Mocking ElBaradei for having been right about Iraq just adds to the wingnut deliciousness.

But this Jihadi nebula is not the only one. There are other nebulae such as the classical Wahabis, Muslim Brotherhoods, Deobandis, etc, who along with al Qaeda nebulous form a large bloc of Global Salafi Jihadism. Bin Laden is the hero of his own nebula and he is somewhat seen as a popular, but irresponsible leader within the classical nebulae.

Limbaugh’s recent interest in acquiring the St Louis Rams shows his lifelong fascination with sport in general, but in football and baseball in particular. Turns out he was going to the Dominican on a scouting trip for MLB. He was recruiting catchers, doncha know.

“Word that Rush Limbaugh is interested in buying the St. Louis Rams has some African American football players swearing off any future employment with the team.
New York Giants defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka and New York Jets linebacker Bart Scott say they would never play for the Rams if Limbaugh owned the team.”
Actually it’s more like the revenge of the Bidwell family, a notorious bunch of racists that owned the St. Louis Cardinals for years (do the they still? Dunno).

Thanks for the link. It’s a good read. A sample:
“The fundamentalist political fanatics will always be more zealous than mainstream conservatives or liberals. They will always be louder, more adamant, more aggrieved, more threatening, more willing to do anything to win. Losing is inconceivable. For them, every battle is a crusade — or a jihad — a matter of good and evil.”
And this:
“The ugly incivility of recent months is partly the result of political fundamentalists who have nothing but contempt for opposing viewpoints, which gives them license to shout down opponents or threaten them, just as jihadis everywhere do.”
I wonder if the the idea “peak wingnut” is the right way to look at this. Perhaps the idea of how politically one goes about quarantining ideas through spurning, shunning and yes, snark. Maybe the question is, “How to get a majority of people in this country to look at these wingnuts and laugh?”

“I don’t think you can leap from [the fact that the cross is the central symbol of Christianity, signifying hope for the dead only for Christians, and to many non-Christians is in fact a symbol of historic religious oppression by Christians, something they would never use to honor their dead or comfort the living] to the conclusion that the only war dead the cross honors are the Christian war dead,” thunders Scalia. “I think that’s an outrageous conclusion!”

Well, yes. But short of that, how does their “My way or the highway” lack of dialogue get pushed aside (and out of) what passes as actual give and take? It’s not just that dialogue with them is impossible, they shut off all dialogue.

I’m reading elsewhere (OK, Daily Kos!) that if Limbaugh buys that team, all of the brown folks will quit. Not only on the basis of his gigantic gaffe regarding Donovan McNabb, but on the basis that he’s a gigantic gaping asshole with whom none of those talented players want anything to do.
I’ve often wondered how much of the progress on race has been made in this country through the sports, but I can also see how folk like Limbaugh want nothing more than to belittle all of that because it disrupts their stupid racist worldview. I can only wonder what that flabby fucktard was thinking when he floated that trial balloon.
Let’s hope the NFL tells him to get fucked. That would be something I’d cheer over.
