I used to respect the Nobel Prize committee.

While Obama was clearly cheated out of this, He still has a shot at the Peace, Physics and Medicine prizes.

Another thing that’s Bush’s fault ;-)

Maybe the Nobel people could start a new category:
“Nobel Prize for Fraud”

Heavy sigh...

Here we go again.

There is no Nobel Prize in economics. The Swedish central bank awards what they call the "Nobel Memorial Prize" to an economist each year, and they do it at the same time the Nobel prizes are being given out. They named their prize Nobel Memorial to make it seem like it is an actual Nobel prize, but the Nobel prize committee has nothing to do with it.

It appears that the Nobel Foundation recognizes it, though.

Krugman? What a joke. Stockholm Derangement Syndrome.

And Obama’s going to take the Literature prize too.

normally I would applaud you for finding duplicate articles.

but today, FR was running very badly.

this article did not even show up until about 3 hours after I posted it and I did do a search.

at least I was having similar difficulty to this poster

But keep up your vigilance but be aware FR is having some difficulties.
