Columnist: Obama's prize means we all can dream

You too can be a Nobel Prize winner, says columnist Gil Spencer.

Here's how his hilarious new column starts out:
Only one of these actually happened...

1. The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 is to be awarded to President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The Committee has attached special importance to Obama’s vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons.

2. The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Peace Prize for 2009 is to be awarded to ... President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for his dream of a carbon-free Iran and his pursuit of a peaceful nuclear energy program. The committee also commends Mr. Ahmadinejad for keeping the peace in his country after rioters took to the streets demanding excessive and unreasonable democratic rights.

3. And the winner is ... Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez for his promises to aid the poor people of his country and advocating a "socialism for the 21st century" that includes nationalization of industries and greater government control over the media. He has been an outspoken critic of cowboy foreign policy as practiced by the yet-to-be-convicted war criminal, George W. Bush.
