This is hilarious.

I mean, OK, it’s a completely ridiculous decision based on no significant accomplishments in bringing about, well, peace. Who knows, maybe in the years to come the current President will indeed greatly add to the sum of peace on Earth, but he certainly hasn’t done so yet. But to harp on that is to miss the point.

What really matters about this is that it will drive the frothing lunatics of the hard right fringe into yet further apoplectic spasms, involving howling, yapping, drooling and biting on the furniture. This will provide me with minutes, even hours of entertainment perusing their websites. And for that I thank the Nobel committee.

(Although like a lot of pleasurable but unhealthy things, afterwards I will probably feel slightly hollow and vaguely disappointed.)
