So Evo Morales, the Bolivian President (yes, one exists) is demanding that Obama give back his Nobel Peace Prize. He claims that the Libya attack is so horrible, our President no longer deserves the prize. Snorts Morales, "How is it possible that a Nobel Peace Prize winner leads a gang to attack and invade? This is not a defence of human rights or self-determination." Whatever, Evo. Just remember: you run Bolivia - the world's third largest producer of cocaine, supplying Europe and South America. According to the UN, coca production there went from 23,600 hectares in 2003 to 27,500 hectares...

MONDAY'S GREGALOGUE: MANIPULATING MURRAH So Bill Clinton had an op-ed in the New York Times yesterday, in which he used the anniversary of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah building as a platform to make a political, rather than a compassionate point. It took him a while to get there, but there it was, the very last line of his carefully articulated piece. "Fifteen years ago, the line was crossed in Oklahoma City. In the current climate, with so many threats against the president, members of Congress and other public servants, we owe it to the victims of Oklahoma...

Now, you know a word has lost all meaning when Jimmy Carter finally gets around to saying it. America's angriest has-been just had to weigh in on the Joe Wilson affair, linking it to inherent racism, following in the wispy footsteps of every bitter lefty blogger. FORMER PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER: I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man. Carter, who I'm now convinced is really Maureen Dowd in a fright mask, seems unaware that even the White House doesn't see the racism he...

WEDNESDAY'S GREGALOGUE: PRESIDENT OBAMA'S ADDRESS Way back in the 1950's and 1960's, one of the easiest ways to get a woman out of her party dress was to use the apocalypse as your wing man. The old line, "Honey, what if the world were to end tomorrow," was designed to narrow prospects for her future, in the hopes that she would spread her legs. And of course, the next morning (if the tryst lasted that long), the sense of terror and urgency would disappear - along with the young man, the lady's honor and probably a thing or two from...

FRIDAY'S GREGALOGUE: IRENA SENDLER The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded this morning, and I'd like to congratulate Irena Sendler. Sendler was a former history teacher who rescued 2,500 children during the Holocaust and was a top contender for the wondrous prize. Back during the early 1940's, Sendler was a Catholic social worker who had gone into the Warsaw ghetto to rescue Jewish kids who were destined either to starve there, or die in death camps. She would sneak the kids past Nazi guards, sometimes hiding them in body bags, or would provide them with false documents - inevitably getting them...
