Suitably Flip

Barry the Humble

His Norwegian plaudits came just in time to save the President from the seemingly more apt moniker Barry the Feckless, following his Danish besmirching.

With an incredulous world wondering how the least accomplished recipient of an award with an already dubious roster of honorees would react to the rarefied laurels, Obama managed to swallow his formidable ego and symbolically share the honor with... well, anyone else who loves his lofty emptiness and self-styled audacity as much as he and the Nobel committee do.

This award — and the call to action that comes with it — does not belong simply to me or my administration; it belongs to all people around the world who have fought for justice and for peace. And most of all, it belongs to you, the men and women of America, who have dared to hope and have worked so hard to make our world a little better.

Allah wonders, have you dared to hope?

I'm so relieved none of these grandstanding punks with their "brave sacrifices" and "actual accomplishments" poached the award.
