When a Joke Isn't Funny - and Isn't Even a Joke

I thought it was a joke - so did a lot of folks. But it seems that Obama has been awarded a Nobel Prize -  "for trying".

In an official statement, the Republican National Committee said: "The real question Americans are asking is, 'What has President Obama actually accomplished?' It is unfortunate that the president's star power has outshined tireless advocates who have made real achievements working towards peace and human rights. One thing is certain -- President Obama won't be receiving any awards from Americans for job creation, fiscal responsibility, or backing up rhetoric with concrete action."

I couldn't agree more and I am still waiting for the punchline. I can't see how this makes sense.

You know...maybe it was the infomercials.
