You beat me to it as far as posting. I have been thinking for days that the Nobel Peace Prize has jumped the shark. Carter and Arafat were merely putting on the skis, but Al Gore making a lame movie as a contribution to world peace makes me gag. At least one could argue that from a warped vision of the world, Carter and Arafat were trying to accomplish world peace; mind you I didn’t buy it. Now like Happy Days (once a highly rated TV show), the Nobel Peace prize has gone too far and sinks in public acceptance. I don’t think Al Gore’s fat carcass while carrying the prize is going to make it over the shark and instead will be eaten alive.
The prize means nothing now. It is liberal masturbation for the public to watch.
I apologize as that is the most racy statement I have made here since the Lewinsky scandal.
Be careful ... We all know what a “Lewinsky” is, and this is a PG rated site. /s
Seems that the Peace Prize has deteriorated to become the Nobel Committee's message to the United States: "Up yours, Uncle Sam!"
Ala Sam Goldwyn, if they have a message for us, they shoulda used Western Union.
What Carter and Arafat did was revolutionary in that they were able to determine new ways for communists and socialists to take property and payments without an army. Arafat and Carter caused killing on a grand scale and the European Socialists responsible for the Nobel Prize see benefits to humanity when property can be taken by those without capital.
Gore does much the same. Socialism spreads and taxes rise. Absurd theories with no basis in fact become doctrine when someone can be driven by fear to pay a government bureaucrat to make economic decisions.
