In a rather confusing move, the Nobel Peace Prize committee mistakenly announced earlier this week that President Obama would be the recepient of an additional Nobel Peace Prize only to retract the announcement yesterday. In an effort to understand what took place, Obamabeans asked Helmet Smorgasbourder, one of the Peace Prize judges, to explain how the mix-up occurred. According to Judge Smorgasbourger, the confusion was a result of the fact that “obama” in Norse actually means “very cheap vodka”. Smorgasbourger said that he and several other judges feel very strongly about very cheap vodka and believe that increasing its availability would be a boon to world peace. When asked how this resulted in the mistaken Peace Prize this week and if it was the reason for President Obama’s award in 2008, Smorgasbourger suddenly slipped off his bar stool and hit his head on the corner of the bar, requiring hospitalization.
Update to follow.
