Hawkeye Republican

PEACE ON EARTH: Some people have suggested that we give the world a Coke; others have called for an end to the development of nuclear arms; everyone's favorite internationalist, Woodrow Wilson, suggested the League of Nations. Jimmy Carter even did something...apparently...

But it was not until 2005 that from the dark shadows cast from the evil of humanity, arose our champion--Bono.

That's right folks. If you didn't think that two Supreme Court vacancies and the ransacking of New Orleans by Mother Nature were not sure enough signs of the Apocalypse, consider the potential Nobel Peace Prize nomination of Bono.

It's not that I don't think Bono should be nominated, it's just that I wouldn't be able to enjoy Joshua Tree without snickering if he won.

Next year, I'm nominating Sean Penn. I hear he likes boats in bayous.
