Hey, Don Draper, do you have a Nobel Peace Prize.

Say my name, bitches!

WINNERS

Barack Obama (BHO) 283.85 +9.47 +3.34%

While a solid argument can be made that Obama has been given this award prematurely, that a sitting American president can stand as an international symbol of peace after that past eight years shows exactly how transformative a figure he is.

Once again, there's no better time to be black in America... particularly when this shit is still going on in Spain.

Analysts close to this Index hope Hollywood doesn't take away the wrong lessons from the success of "Tropic Thunder".  Edgy commentary and satire can be funny...



Hateful mockery, scorn and derision isn't.

Hell, while we're at it... this isn't funny either. Not at all.
