No joke serious question below....

"How is this award decided?" For baseball you need 75% to make the HOF. Who votes and how many do you need to win this?

Ghandi never got one and Arafat did if that tells you something about the award. Not to mention whoever nominated him did it 2 weeks into his administration. Hope it was GWB and a joke gone bad. Love the reaction though from the Polish leader.

As long as Tim Tebow didn't get it ... I'm cool with it.

Not only does Obama owe his primary and general election victory solely to Bush .. but he now owes his Nobel Peace Prize to Bush.

Bush basically made the Nobel Peace Prize the global equivlant of an 'At least I'm not PG 1985' award.

You have to take the job away from both a monumental war criminal and a pompous rich kid in order to come under consideration.

How do you know I havent? I work with people who come from countries that have waged war on people and they are my friends and some of them are rich.
I can hope and aspire as much as the next person.......
I deserve a prize.


A side note ..... the person to whom you are refering to couldnt re-apply for the job so I think it was an easy beat.
