#2 You have to admit, ol' MEB can turn his head the other way like no one else in history.

Isn't the part where he missed the phone call just perfect?

#11 This is the group that gave the award to the inventer of "Neuticles," right?

Or is that a different farce?

#14 The U.N. nuclear watchdog and its head Mohamed ElBaradei won the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday in an award calculated to help efforts to banish the peril of nuclear arms..

Can't wait for the job to be completed first before handing out the awards, eh?

#15 Some experts say the IAEA has achieved too little in North Korea and Iran to merit the prize. Elbaradei is unbowed.

Unbowed, and entirely uncontaminated by the least semblance of success in taking to task those who most endanger this world. North Korea, Iran, Pakistan and even his native Egypt's own covert nuclear activities have utterly eluded his feeble grasp. Much like how his boss seems incapable of forcefully addressing the genocides that continually rear to spoil his feast at the UN trough.

Sad to say that the Nobel Peace Prize is rapidly becoming a badge of incompetence. Its being awarded to Arafat pretty much cemented that notion.

#16 UPDATE-- Greenpeace don't like it either:

The environmental group Greenpeace said Friday it was "shocked" that the Nobel committee has given its prestigious peace prize this year to Mohamed ElBaradei and the International Atomic Energy Agency, arguing that the U.N. agency's promotion of atomic energy has increased the risk of nuclear weapons proliferation. "With the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to such an organization, the meaning of this instrument of peace is seriously put into question," Jan van de Putte, an atomic expert with Greenpeace, said in a statement. "Through the IAEA's worldwide support of nuclear power, 35 to 40 countries today have the capability of building atomic weapons within several months, as ElBaradei himself has recently admitted," Greenpeace said.

#17 Will the Nobel committee take it back when Iran goes nuclear or will they be too scared to because Oslo will be within nuclear armed missile range?

#18 If the Iranian MMs get nukes but do not set one off by the time the next Nobel Piece Prize ~~Rigged Lotto~~ selection comes around, then they will be awarded the Prize ~~and a pony~~ [/cynical snarky comment] Peace, brothers and sisters.

#19 Put me down as shocked, yet strangely calm. And no, I've never considered a Renault.
