Well, beyond comment really. One could get rich if the Norwegian Nobel Committee got a clue, but I'm afraid it's throwing away ones money.

But, but, where's Yasser? Surely the Euros will want him to get the Peace Prize! < /sarcasm off>

Is it possible that we could nominate JimRob for a Nobel or Pulitzer?

No way Havel wins. He just criticized Castro.

The left off George Soros, Michael Moore and John Kerry.

Kerry could get it for the work he did to end the Viet Nam war.

The Nobel Peace Prize is becoming as much of a joke as the Pulitzer prize for Journalism Fiction.

I think Rather is the odds on favorite for the Pulitzer, because the memos are works of fiction.

He's already got one, I guess, along with Rabin for the Oslo sellout. Unless you meant Saddam.

INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY/ELBARADEI, Mohamed 6.00

#2 on the list? Helping peace by allowing Iran to go nuclear during his watch???

VANUNU, Mordechai

The Israeli Nuke whistleblower comes in at #5.
Now I get it: Jewish nukes are bad, but Muslim nukes are "peaceful".

I say give it to JIMMAH again so we can all ROTFLMAO once again! How about Yasser n' Jimmah! They can sing "Islands in the Stream" as an onstage duet.

No, if you kill someone, then write a book from prison decrying white people and calling for 300 years of white slavery as reparations...they will bring you the award in person.

There must be a mistake! They left off Tommy Franks - the only peacemaker I know of in the last decade whose has liberated 50 million from opression, genocide, starvation, relgious persecution, and rape, and abject poverty.
