I got back from my long weekend of caving to find Pres Obama had won
the Nobel Peace prize and thought, "I'm gonna like this new universe
where Obama actually accomplishes something". You can imagine my
dissapointment. Its the same old BS about nothing, these guys gave
the Nobel to Yasir Arafat too. Screw this, I'm gonna go back
underground and find a world that makes sense.

Are you Norwegian?

Are you ashamed that our president got the Nobel for peace?

Now you know how I felt to have George Bush as my president?

Here jips, it's not just us!

"President Obama created history by becoming the first black-American
President of the USA. He was also the first black-American to edit the
Harvard Law Journal. Now according to critics, he has made history by
winning the Norwegian Nobel Peace Prize for having not done anything.
This stunning choice has shocked Nobel observers."

A great article from Australia: http://tinyurl.com/yg5f6fe This gives
some examples of people who'd actually *done* something.

"As Paul Reynolds from BBC News, London, put it: "His ambition for a
world free of nuclear weapons is one that is easier to declare than to
achieve."
