It was announced this morning that this adorable kitten has won the Nobel Prize based on his work with nuclear disarmament, climate change, multilateral negotiation in international politics, and giving the promise of a hopeful future to all people worldwide.
While the adorable kitten's worldwide recognition may seem premature to some analysts, they are forgetting HOW FREAKING CUTE IS HE??? OH MY GOSH I JUST WANT TO CUDDLE HIM FOR E-V-E-R!!!
What? Guantanamo Bay still open, Afghanistan still in shambles (let's not mention Iraq), nuclear capabilities in Iran, a continued oppressive dictatorship in Venezuela, Cuba, and North Korea, and an unsubtle push from the US executive branch against liberalization of trade with our allies and economic competitors possibly heralding in a new Smoot-Hawley era?
BUT LOOK AT THE KITTEN!!!
The adorable kitten could not be reached for comment as it had recently left the country to appeal for the IOC moving the 2016 Olympics from Rio to the sunbeam in the den.
(I'm just not even going to list the amount of hard working politicians, economists, social activists, diplomats, who got robbed this year.)
Edit 9:15 AM:
Greg Mankiw is better at this than I am. But then again, he's also a Harvard Professor, and I'm a third year grad student at a Midwestern public university so... that's to be expected. See his take on the Nobel here. Also yet another part in the continuing blog cat-fight that is Mankiw/Krugman.
