Celebrating Skin Color

This week we are celebrating skin color. The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to freshman president Obama. The distinguished Norwegian gentleman who made the announcement to the press was questioned afterwards. He was asked if the award of the prize to Obama was based on future expectations of his performance as U.S. president or if it was based on his achievements to date. The official insisted that the votes in favor of Obama were driven by his many accomplishments as president. I find it interesting that the votes were cast back in February of this year when Obama had been president for several days.

Perhaps the Nobel society representative meant to say that Obama was nominated because many Europeans had been so twitterpated by Obama's skin color - one of the principal reasons for his successful presidential campaign.

I'm hoping that I will win the Nobel peace prize next year on the basis of my skin color - which, by the way, is very lovely.
