The Nobel Peace Prize that Wasn't

While Barack Obama got the peace prize for...what exactly did he get the peace prize for? Well, anyway, while he got it, others were passed over and one nominee, Jim Garrow, actually deserved it. He runs the Pink Pagoda Project to save baby girls in China from the government's one-child policy. He's spent $23 million in the past ten years rescuing baby girls from certain death. Isn't it ironic that a man who saves little ones from murder lost out to the champion of child-killing?

It reminds me of the 2007 debacle when Al Gore, the biggest hot air windbag on the planet, beat out Irena Sendler a Catholic who risked her life to rescue 2500 Jewish children  from the Warsaw ghetto during the Holocaust. After the war she reunited the children with surviving family members when possible. She had kept all the details of their identities buried in a jar in her back yard. Read her story here.

Isn't it edifying to think that recent Nobel peace prizes have gone to men, one who did nothing at all and the other who gave a slide show and made a movie based on fraudulent data? This formerly prestigious award has become nothing but a joke for late night TV. Pray for the repose of the soul of Irena Sendler who died in 2008 at the age of 98. She was a hero and a woman after God's own heart. After all, he came as an infant which shows His tremendous love for babies.
