Award the Current Regime an Ignobel Prize!

[TechBear_Seattle]

Yes, I know that the Ig Nobels are handed out for improbable research, but go with me on this. :hi:

What put this idea in my head was NanceGregg's excellent post, And the Non-Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize Is .... I found myself asking: what kind of Nobel level awards could be given to the MisAdministration? The Ignobel War Prize? Best Smirk? Most Chilling Soundbite?

Who would you nominate, and for what award?

1. How about for their ability to be 100% wrong 100% of the time?

That's something I'd always considered impossible because of the amount of research it would entail, but they have achieved it.

2. Sometimes the Ig Nobel prizes are actually somewhat "noble"

eg. The "dead guy" in India who has established an organization for those who have legally been written off as "dead" (by unscrupulous relatives or others) when they are in fact quite living.
