Al Gorebot on inside track to Nobel Prize Friday......?

A quick check of the dictionary definition of "Oxymoron" results in: pointedly foolish, from Greek oxys sharp, keen + mOros foolish: a combination of contradictory or incongruous words (as cruel kindness) ; broadly : something that is made up of contradictory or incongruous elements a combination of contradictory or incongruous words (as cruel kindness) ; broadly : something (as a concept) that is made up of contradictory or incongruous elements.

Thus is born the "Nobel" prize. An annual series of prizes awarded for work in science, physics, economy and peace. Funded by the bequeathed fortune of a Swede named Nobel who made that fortune by developing dynamite and the blaster caps. A giant leap forward in the munitions of the world necessary to kill the most folks with the least effort expended.

No caricatures of this oxymoron need be drawn. A list of those who have been awarded these prizes is plumb eye opening; Yasser Arafat, Henry Kissinger, Jimmie Carter, Yes!, Mahatma Ghandi (five times) No!

But back to the inside rumors that Al Gorbot is about to be named as a co-winner this Friday. Ole' Pecoz went back to the dictionary and discovered; OXY-"containing additional oxygen". And MORON- "a mildly mentally retarded person". I reckon that if the qualities necessary to be the winner of an award that is a caricature of an oxymoron are that he be a mildly mentally retarded person containing additional oxygen....... who can argue? Al Gorbot is the hands down favorite to win....
