(l) Newly-designed Nobel Peace Prize------(r) Greek riots
(copied from the Orange County Human Relations Commission "Rusty Award")
First, it was Yasser Arafat. Then it was Jimmy Carter. Then it was Al Gore. Then it was Barack Obama. Now the Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded-not to an undeserving individual-but to an undeserving organization, the European Union. Well, I guess things could be worse. They could have given the prize this year to Hamas, Hezbollah or the Muslim Brotherhood, but there is always next year.
I can't wait to get Nigel Farage's reaction to this latest outrage.
My prayers have been answered. Here it is.

The only question now is who will have the cojones to go to Oslo and accept it? I guess if the aforementioned 4 clowns had the cojones to do so, the EU can come up with someone who has no shame. Since Nigel has taken himself out of the running, I guess it is left to either, the Belgian Waffler himself, Herman van Rompuy, or the feckless Baroness Lady Ashton, most recently seen being spanked by the mullahs of Iran in a vain effort to get them to stop building a nuclear bomb, or Jose Manuel Barroso, president of the EU Commission. My guess is it will be Barroso, since being from Portugal, he probably knows what cojones means in Spanish (Balls-not pelotas balls, but cojones balls).
Meanwhile, the Nobel Peace Prize now means about as much as the above pictured Orange County Human Relations Rusty Award or perhaps even the Golden Penguin, handed out out each January to the Fousesquawk "Jerk of the Year". At least the latter award is more accurate.
Which reminds me; I have much homework to do. There are so many candidates to consider and so little time.

The Nobel Peace Prize has no meaning any more. It is an award given to the most liberal, most communistic and dictatorial person or group on the Earth.
Next year it will be Hamas, Hezbollah or both. Perhaps Assad should receive it for bringing peace to many of his people. The peace of the grave. Or if he actually gets a nuke and uses it to Mahmaud Ahmadinejad.
Always good to hear from Farage.
I think Findalis is right, although her speculative second paragraph probably reflects her own sense of melancholy rather than a likely course of events.
Alfred Nobel is long dead. The integrity of the prize is only as good as the judgement of the individuals who sit on the committee.
Their judgement hasn't been the least bit sound lately. Yes, that includes awarding the prize to Barack Obama, who emailed all his supporters to say "I don't think I've done anything to deserve this award."
The committee is deploying the award to evidence their political preferences, rather than for a record of accomplishment.
