Nobel Peace Prize, 2010

[hummingwolf]

For the Nobel Peace Prize to be awarded in 2010, I would like to nominate the members of the committee who chose the winner of the Peace Prize for 2009. More than anyone else in recent history, this Nobel committee has contributed to peace by prompting people from all over the American political landscape to come together as one and say: "SAY WHAT?! No... seriously... what?????????"

Many thanks to you, Nobel Peace Prize committee! Today, you have given us all great hope for the future.

Yeah, my impression was that the White House was caught rather off-guard.

Thank you! I've seen several interesting theories about what the committee had in mind, but I'm not convinced by any of them.

Perfect response.
I spent the first 1/2 hour after hearing the news thinking it was a joke. Not a good joke or a bad joke...just someone being funny.

Thank you!
Yep, it took a while to process the fact that Obama's prize was a genuine news story. At first I might've been convinced that sleep deprivation and/or migraine had me hallucinating.
