Here is Barack Obama's speech accepting the Nobel Peace Prize. Unwilling to follow the suggestion of the chattering class that he take the award and shove it right up the Committee's ass, he instead delivered a humble and gracious acceptance on behalf of the entire nation. Or at least he did for the first four minutes or so, after which I kind of drifted off. Maybe he gets a little blue in the second half. Anyway, now onto the more serious issues: What's he gonna do with the million dollar prize? I would not be completely shocked to learn that several rightwing websites have already cast doubt on his Constitutional ability to receive the money or imagined scenarios along the lines of "he's gonna have a big old house party" and such.

Rightwing photoshop of Barack wearing Nobel bling in 3... 2...
There's gonna be some close races in 2010; maybe he could spend his mil on some of those.
$1 million? Hire a private death panel? Forge a better birth certificate? Buy Kenya as the 51 state?
Oh, he'll probably just donate it to Hezbollah.
First right wing blogger to reference Tyrone Biggum's $450,000 Crack Party gets a cookie!

Whoa. This kind of coin is like within one or two decimal points of being made a Regional Vice-President at Merrill Lynch.
Or a junior hedge fund stooge.
For $1m he should be able to stockpile enough weapons and freeze dried food to survive Armageddon. That is, if he's not the antichrist.
I really hope he donates it all to ACORN while yelling "SUCK IT, CONSERVATIVES!" And then we can watch Limbaugh, BillO, Buchanan, and Glenn Beck all spontaneously combust at once.
Wow, is the crowd not miked or something, or did his little anecdote at the beginning about his kids cracking wise just COMPLETELY BOMB? This is a sign that the honeymoon is in fact over. "My adorable children said something cute!" [stony silence]
Honestly, is everyone in the Chattering Classes punch-drunk by Friday? Are they serious? The Nobel peace Prize jumped the shark when they gave one to Kissinger. Gore Vidal called the Nobel Prize Committee "the ironists of outer Europe" for awarding him a Peace prize in 1973.
Circa 2009 the Nobel Peace Prize is like an energy pellet in Pac Man. It gives President Obama a little extra leverage, a bump, when dealing with the Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Taliban.
