Everyone, from Eurotard to Amerikkkan, thinks the idea of obama winning is ridiculous.

If he wants to really look good and impress people, he should turn it down.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Doesn't count you were taking the piss.

But, yet again Languish gets it right, we may take over for the Onion.

More to the point, my amazing skills should be recognized and publicly appreciated.

I hear there may be a Nobel Prize available ...  :D

First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Hu Jia should have received it.

Also I don't understand why Michael Jackson is on that nomination list. He wouldn't have had any chances since he is dead.

The really funny part is that I had no idea he was actually nominated - I just wanted to play off of Berkut.  ;)

Apparently he had 14-1 odds.

Pete Seeger?
Michael Jackson ??!?!?!?

Morgan Tsvangirai would have been a good choice but I guess the Committee lacks the cohones to slap Mugabe in the face.

Perhaps Mitterand nominated him.  ;)

Auyn San Suu Chi spent twelve years in prison or under house arrest in the name of peace and democracy before the committee decided she was worthy.  Obama spent twelve days simply not being George Bush and the committee decided he was worthy.

I'd say that Dubya should take this as the ultimate compliment.

Then try to collect the prize money secretly.  He'd be the next Jean Paul Sartre. :frog:
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I predict that this is ultimately going to hurt Obama in the long run.

Haven't you ever listened to Heal the World?  :mad:

Also, this is the perfect time for Obama to order a military strike on Iran. If he actually did, I'd love him forever. :lol:
