  • Obama Gets What?! That’s Right, the Nobel Peace Prize

    The Nobel Foundation once again proves how ignoble it is by giving Barack Obama the Nobel Peace Prize. By Selwyn Duke Well, I guess we can say, blessed be the peace makers — because they must be in darn short supply. That’s the only conclusion I can draw when I hear that President Obama —…
