From this week’s WEeding Awards:
Prologue
I’m on the brink of declaring Barack Obama the WEediest writer in history. He always delivers. (Of course, there’s always the question of who actually writes his material. Politicians and their speechwriters . . . .)
With Obama’s nomination victory speech this week, I honor an amazing piece of collectivist WEediness, published, ironically, by one of the biggest libertarian sites known to humanity. If humanity is the kind of thing that can know things. If humanity even exists.
Along with these two, I’ve included links to three other pieces (one by Obama) which received nominations and — I believe — deserved to win. But, unfortunately, I didn’t have the time this week to give all the nominated pieces their just deserts.
36: Nomination Victory Speech, by Barack Obama
37: “Whose Iraq Is It, Anyway?,” by Steve Chapman, Reason
Other Nominees:
“It’s Time to Talk to Syria,” by John Kerry and Chuck Hagel, Wall Street Journal
“The Gas Prices We Deserve,” by George Will, Washington Post
Remarks at AIPAC Policy Conference, by Barack Obama
