Today’s Nobel Peace Prize announcement …
Unbelievable.
The triumph of wishful thinking over recognizeable reality goes global.
Honestly: when I first heard the news, I genuinely thought it was a parody announcement. Apparently some people, and organizations, are now beyond parody.

Obama could surprise me. He could turn out to be a great man. But he hasn’t done it yet — hasn’t done ANYTHING yet except talk big — so I was, yes, flabbergasted and appalled.

Apparently, all you need to do to get a Nobel Peace Prize is (a) get elected and (b) make a few statements on how everything is going to be hugs-and-puppies-y. One can't but wonder why they didn't give one to every single president of every single country of every single planet of every single galaxy of every single universe ever.</Dr. Cox>
