#18  This is the Nobel Peace Prize, the same one that they gave Jimmy Carter. This is just another indication of what it's worth.

#17  This is the normal result of an "international" committee of individuals picked not on the basis of knowledge but on the basis of diversity. The very kind of group (U.N. or E.U.) that Skerry would look to when some major decision needs to be made.

#16  Let's not get our panties in a bind over this lady and her prize, remember Jimmy Carter has one too.

#14  WOW! Just saw that scary photo of her. She'd fit in great on that big school bus full of hippies in Mad Max 2.

#13  The Nobel committee had to throw the 3rd world a bone so they gave this brain damaged Kenyan the Peace prize. Can't have all pale white people up on the stage. With a sprinkling of Asians.

Kofi Annan can win it next. Another one short in the IQ department.

#12  ..Well, take a look and see who swept the Science and Physics prizes this year, and you get the feeling they HAD to come up with a Barking Moonbat(TM) for the Peace Prize.
One more like this, and I think ol' Al will come back from the grave and start throwing his invention at the judges.

#11  Bonkers Babe Award 2004. There are some Bonker Boy Awards also: UN (2001), Kofi Annan (2001), Yassar Arafat (1994)--[trying to motivate him to quit his terrorist ways]--probably keeps him from being assassinated. There have been some legitimate Peace Awards (in my humble opinion). Other Nobel Peace Prize Winners Link (hope I got the html right):

#10  Well given the fact that Hans Blix and Baradei were seen to be most likely to receive the prize I guess we should not complain.

But we really need to hear the "Nobel" Peace Prize Owner Yasser on that issue. Does anyone doubt that HIV was created in a Zionist lab to kill... ummm... black Palestinians?

#9  Ah, excellent. When we read of the prize the other day, I wondered where the "kick in the leg" was. She didn't seem to have the looney toons quality so necessary for your modern peace laureates. I'm glad to know the Nobel committee is not slipping.

It is a joy to see the transnational progressives who award the prize have their own shit blown back in their faces.

You're dreaming. The TP lap this crap up. After all, if AIDS was created, You Know Who has to be behind it.

#8  The gal won a Nobel PEACE Prize. This has nothing to do with biology. She is an ecologist, true, but that is a long, long way from virology and molecular biology.

Like someone said, you don't need facts to have an opinion.

#7  Terrific. It is a joy to see the transnational progressives who award the prize have their own shit blown back in their faces. It properly reflects on many of the selections made in recent years. Jimmah, where are you on this one boy?

#6  The Nobel Institute must be so proud.

Scientists have pinpointed what is believed to be the earliest known case of AIDS, a discovery that suggests that the multitude of global AIDS viruses all shared a common African ancestor only 40 or 50 years ago.

While the modern world rocked to Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry, an African tribesman died of a mysterious disease in 1959 in a clinic in Leopoldville, Belgian Congo - what is now Kinshasa, Republic of Congo, Dr. Toufu Zhu of the University of Washington in Seattle reports in the Feb. 5 issue of the journal Nature.

#3  Absofuckinglutely looney tunes. IIRC the oldest known case of an HIV death that can be proven is the Englishman from the late 50s early 60s who is thought to of gotten it in North Africa. Could any one of possibly assembled HIV then. I suspect that HIV has been around a lot longer than we think. Its just that most of the victims when they got sick jsut died much quicker simply because they did not have the medical care available we do today. As to the spread of HIV in Africa today, there is one simple rule to protecting yourself from HIV. Don't fuck around. The sexual oractices of some African cultures is helping spread HIV much quicker than it would in a more restained shall we say population. Some of these practices such as sharing the wife with the guest have been around a long time and the cultural resistance to change is a big factor. I am not making a moral judgement on these pracices it is just that if the practices of your culture is helping cause its death it is time to change your culture

#2  From the article:

The official pointed to a report of those comments published in August in Kenya's daily Standard newspaper, in which Ms Maathai was quoted as saying that HIV/AIDS was created by scientists for the purpose of mass extermination.

And here all this time I thought it was AKs and machetes doing all the killing
