Ann Althouse:

Riddle: Why didn't Barack Obama win the Nobel Prize for Literature?

Answer: He wrote 2 books.

Literally the last thing I read on Twitter before going to bed in the wee hours this morning was a breaking news announcement that Obama had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. I was convinced that after a long day (night) at work I was mentally exhausted to the point of hallucination.

Obama receiving a formerly prestigious award like the Peace Prize is a precise demonstration of why the award can rightly be described as "formerly prestigious."

The Nobel committee is a joke.
