And He's Done What?

...for a Nobel Peace Prize?

Some Q&A where they try and make sense of it

Time Magazine -- well, suffice it to say they can't fuckin' believe this.

The Anointed One is a Democrat? (personally, haven't seen a Democrat that deserved anointing since Kennedy) His name isn't George? He's from Hawaii?.... truly the way of the Norwegians is strange.

Really, to get the Peace Prize, shouldn't you have made peace break out someplace? Charitable contributions are all very well indeed, fine things really, but perhaps the statesmanlike thing to do is to decline the prize altogether on the grounds that it is hardly merited.

You're a little late to the party, UG.

Wouldn´t be the first time. I'll just have to bear it, Dar. Mebbe some crossposts.

The 'Net is going crazy.

The Daily Beast

Rush inter alia


George on Rush

Even Huffpo -- holy swiss-cheese fuck... though their scattershot work somewhat misses the mark. It's not "outrage" I feel about this. The real startlement is that Huffington is agreeing with me. It's surprise that I feel.
