Barack Hussein Obama - he's worthy of the Peace Prize for doing nothing. Good points. Too bad they made the Peace prize a joke. --Vic Why? Because it's not completely unusual for the prize to be awarded to promote change... Never saw that before. Because our "new" friend Nom de Harry just made it up... Does that surprise you? Seems past winners had solid past accomplishments in the "peace" arena. Even Arafat, though he proved intransigent in the end. Who do you think is likely to have a greater impact... Obama MIGHT in the future, and he might not. Common prudence says look at the above list first. Genuine work and sacrifice. Sadat won I think, and paid dearly. I'm far from an expert on it and don't pay much attention. That this award strikes me as silly doesn't make me a bad person. --Vic One for time for the right-wing cretins he "...and one part to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses. The prizes for physics and chemistry shall be awarded by the Swedish Academy of Sciences; that for physiology or medical works by the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm; that for literature by the Academy in Stockholm, and that for champions of peace by a committee of five persons to be elected by the Norwegian Storting." From Alfred Nobel's will. Just goes to show that the Norwegian parliament is just as corrupt as your congress. |

It's hard to decide whether Scott Ingersoll is a cretin or a moron. Sorry, ****-for-brains, but it's not me.
