Nobel Prizes
Both powerline and dangerousdan have good Nobel Prize posts. Apparently they gave the literature prize to a Communist who writes plays that not even her fans like that much. They gave the peace prize to someone who goes around planting trees, but does not seem to do much to, you know, promote peace. She is a better pick than Jimmy Carter was, who almost always promotes stability over justice. Frankly the peace prize means nothing to me if it does not go to people who promote a just peace. A peaceful stability is often worse than a just battle. I think they should have given it to Ronald Reagan who did more to promote a just peace than anyone else over the past 50 years.
Update: It turns out the Nobel Peace Prize winner may be, how shall I put this gently, a bit nuts. She is sure that HIV was created in a lab somewhere, even though all rational scientific evidence disputes this.

More reason why my prediction who the Nobel PEACE Prize will go to could quite possibly come to fruition.
