….cute, but slightly premature. \u00a0After all, he was only in office<\/a><\/strong> for 11 odd days when the nominations closed !<\/p>\n

It was fun being on twitter<\/a><\/strong> yesterday – pithy one liners flew across the length and breadth of the world –\u00a0 140 characters of dripping sarcasm \ud83d\ude42 some of my favorites :<\/p>\n

@sumants<\/a><\/strong> RT @MitchBenn<\/a><\/strong>: It’s official: George Bush was such an asshole you can win the Nobel Peace Prize just by not being him.<\/p>\n

@sidin<\/a><\/strong> Obama to win Commonwealth Gold & lifetime Oscar. Also X Prize, Magsaysay and Bigg Boss 3. And Dancing With The Stars<\/p>\n

@shefal<\/a><\/strong>y Ok let me understand this then. Obama has been granted anticipatory No-bail?<\/p>\n

@IndiaVoice<\/a><\/strong> india’s bomb makers — the ones who made the thermonuclear dud — are better deserving of the nobel peace prize.!!!!!!!<\/p>\n

@MrsStephenFry<\/a><\/strong> Yet ANOTHER year overlooked for the Nobel Peace Prize. How many more do I have to kill to win that thing?<\/p>\n

@samitbasu <\/a><\/strong>I hear next week’s special item on Mafia Wars is a Nobel Peace Prize.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I hope that the world is not destroying the man with the weight of expectations. He is not the Messiah<\/a><\/strong> — he is flesh and blood and fighting a rather cranky system. Give him space and time to get his work done …. .. and, maybe then a second Nobel<\/a><\/strong> would be in order…<\/p>\n

But, on the positive side, atleast he<\/a><\/strong> didn’t<\/a><\/strong> get it for literature<\/a><\/strong> !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
