Me too. I am just absolutely dumbfounded. This is something straight out of The Onion. BTW, Just checked, I doubt they'll even touch that one! This brings absurd to a whole new level.
Are you serious? This is the first I've heard of it. The news must have been released yesterday, which I spent mainly in airplanes and airports, and when I got home I just wanted down time and didn't go online.
All I can say at the moment is that after Jimmy Carter received it, the Nobel Piss Prize is a disgrace, not an honor.
C'mon, this is even worse than the Carter pick. Worse than the Rigoberta Menchu or Yassir Arafat pick. This is hilarious. It's not the Nobel Piss Prize anymore, it's gone way beyond that.
It's reached the status of a super-secret plastic decoder ring found in a box of Crackerjacks.
Olympus, where the abode of the gods stands firm and unmoving forever, they say, and is not shaken with winds nor spattered with rains, nor does snow pile ever there, but the shining bright air stretches cloudless away, and the white light glances upon it.

RARA TEMPORUM FILICITATE, UBI SENTIRE QUAE VELIS ET QUAE SENTIAS DICERE LICET
Rare is the felicity of the times, when you can think what you like and speak what you think.

THE GOLD STANDARD
Lawrence Auster: He has passed on, leaving chronicles of liberal and neo-conservative folly and offering a traditionalist conservative cure.
Belmont Club: Whatever you know about geopolitics, Richard Fernandez and many of his commenters are two steps ahead of you.
Steve Sailer: Thinking the unthinkable, saying the unsayable.
Mark Steyn: In a class of his own for the amount of wit he can pack into a single article. A programmed liberal's worst nightmare.
Beyond the Veil: Links galore to web pages about paranormal consciousness and phenomena.
Association TransCommunication: For millennia, religions and mediums have spoken for the dead. Now, they speak for themselves.
MONEY
Zero Hedge: Everything you need to confirm your worst fears about the economy.
Market Folly: Learn from the hedge fund titans as they gain, or lose, hundreds of millions.
Charles Hugh Smith: "Consumerism is psychological/spiritual junk food ... well-being is increased by everything that cannot be commoditized by a market economy or financialized by a cartel-state financial machine -- friendship, family, community, self-cultivation -- rather than by acquiring more."

Too bad. I was really looking forward to seeing you post on Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize.
