The Nobel Committee has awarded President Obama the Nobel Peace Prize. Apparently, Obama’s drop in approval ratings led the committee to decide that Obama needed a shot of self-esteem and a boost in the size of his personality cult.

My God, what a loser Joe Biden is. After presiding over a swearing in ceremony in Iraq for 237 new U.S. citizens — members of the American armed forces from 59 countries, including 12 from Iraq — this is as much pride as he could muster for his country:

Byron York writes at National Review Online:
I have a friend in London, very Euro in outlook, who is terrifically frustrated and worried about the election.
His chief concern: the role of Americans. “It’s a pity that Americans are the ones who elect the president,” he says. “It would be much better if the people of the [...]
