Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

Well, if anyone would bother to read what I posted about the intent of the award, there would be so much less gnashing of teeth.

The award has been called meaningless. Fine. I'm not arguing that. What I am arguing is, if it's so meaningless, why are people so pissed off?

Huckabee reminded his constituents that to bitch about this would only make them look petty. Why stop now? He said it would be better to ask what Obama has done? Fair enough...until you actually pay attention to what the award is supposed to be about. Do I think it means much? Well, I believe in ideals, and what could be accomplished if we set our minds to it. I think this bestowment paves the way for honoring better ideas about what could really happen, if everyone wasn't so worried about someone else pissing in their spot. Arf.
