#3 Remind me again what he actually DID to merit a Whatsis Piss Prize.

He's the Messiah, right? ( yeah, that's the ticket )

And he's gonna bring us Hope and Change. AND he has frizzy hair if that floats your boat. There are so many "young" people and black people and people who stare at television who need someone to represent them. Naive walmart buttcrack people who drive Volvos. But, hey, Kerry got to be head of the State Department. That's somethin'.....

#4 I was calling for him to get the Heisman and Cy Young awards at that time, for much the same reasons. But did they listen to me? No.

#6 Not heard much jaw wagging of late from Arch-Druid Desmond, the champion of African faith-based social justice. I certainly hope he is well.

#8 In the defense of Le Duc Tho, he refused his award. He may have been a blood-soaked doctrinaire Communist thug, but he wasn't a total hypocrite like Kissinger.

#9 ..the point is the decision making process and team awarding the prize at all as reflected in the selections.

#10 Actually, I think the Peace Prize looks good on Champ's mantel. They deserve each other. And it serves as a reminder to others of the Prize's true value.

#11 This prize should be referred to as the "Nobel Piece Prize".

#12 Since Nobel invented TNT maybe the prize was actually properly given to all of these warmongers and we've just taken the wrong meaning of the name.

#13 I am sure they are thinking of swapping the Peace Prize for the one in Economics.

#15 It should have been mine. I kept the peace with 3 kittehs, 4 dawgs and a man chile.

I damn sure deserve this one.

Who do I see to bitch if I don't get it?
Is there cash?

#16 In looking over the winners during my lifetime, only a very few truly deserved it: Mother Teresa, Norman Borlaug,George Marshall, Lech Wałęsa,and a few others.

Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and John Paul II should have gotten it for bringing down the Soviet Union and preventing WWIII.
