President Barack Obama was awakened from a sound sleep this morning to be told he had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

At a hastily called press conference in Bemidji, Minnesota, where he had gone to recalibrate his icy cold stare, former Ambassador to the UN John Bolton said Mr. Obama should “come back in three or four years when he’s actually done something.” He added that, “Peace grows out of the barrel of a gun, to quote somebody whose name escapes me. Peace is nuclear bombs and two million dead at Stalingrad and Kursk. Tell him to call back when he’s shown that kind of commitment to peace.” At his studio in Palm Beach, Florida, where he was eating everybody’s lunch, unofficial Republican spokesmodel Rush Limbaugh said, “The Nobel Committee has suicide-bombed itself. And they don’t even believe in Allah. Do they?”

Republicans want to know how many Americans traded in their gas guzzlers for a Barack Obama 325i with the optional sports package thereby lining the personal pockets of the President of the United States.” Responding for the Democrats, Representative Barney Frank (D. MA) said, “I don’t have a clunker to trade in, but I’d love to pick up four grand on John Boehner.”
