Afternoon Piss: Obama Gets Peace Prize, While Gays Still Suffer

President Obama's expected to sign a hate-crime bill for gays, which might come off as progressive to you, but all I can see is a hypocrite in action. He'll protect gays from being bashed, but he still won't let us marry each other? (Not that I'd be interested in that institution ever again, but you get the idea.)
That's like saying the peasant second-class citizens must never be hit by their masters who get better everything. We don't wanna be treated like victims who need to be protected—we wanna be treated like everyone else. It's the same story time and again.
'Course, Obama's not really thinking of all the unlucky gay Americans today when he's got his new Nobel Peace Prize to smile about. He's only the third American prez in history to get a Nobel Peace Prize while still in office, and the last former White House regular to get it was Al Gore in 2007, after working on behalf of spreading education and fixing global warming for years and years and years.
Obama's claim to fame, that is, besides being the first black man elected president? Let's be honest—he hasn't really done a great deal yet, though he sure likes talking about what he's gonna do. We can't friggin' wait till he does it, already. How long do you plan to make us wait, Mr. President?
