Is that the “Noble” Peace Award you pay for to enter the contest ? I knew a young boy whose mother shelled out $150.00 to a youth group for basketball. No score was kept, nobody won, but everybody got a trophy and pizza. Congrats President Trump ! (/s)
I’ve never had a problem with awards for participation.
Last year, 900 of my closest friends and I went out on a Sunday morning for a little exercise. We all swam 2 kilometers in open water, rode our bikes for 90 km, then ran for 21 km. I didn’t win; not even close. Yet the organizers saw fit to give all of us participation medals in recognition of the hard training, dedication, and effort that it took to attempt and finish something of that magnitude. They thought it was worthy of recognition.
People who denigrate participation awards are people who have never attempted or completed anything of value.
So with our Forest on fire from Climate change the want-to-be dictator declaring he deserves TWO more terms Hundreds of thousands of people dying around us from a preventable disease THIS is what you have chosen to do with 5 seconds of the countries attention!
I think the Oscar award is named after the Oscar Meyer wiener. Because I have never seen so many people who think they are a big hot dog.when actually they are a bunch of crying weenies!

Nothing relevant, timely or even topical.
But on the up-side, there’s less BS than the usual Varvel offering. (I think, unless this is a reference to something I don’t know about.)

It’s a crappy knee-jerk reference to the Oscars toothless diversity requirements that were just announced.

Varvel must have earned one of those for his attempt at political commentary.

As opposed to the “Reserved for Whites” awards previously in fashion.

. . . suggesting that POC are simply worse at the craft, but pretend they’re not.

Gary, it doesn’t have a confederate battle flag on it. How could it be a participation trophy without one?
