The imperial trajectory of our "nation" went into warp speed with the advent of Wilson's public relations cabal, i.e., the Creel Committee. The outcome of that dubious "think tank" was the realization that "influencing" the opinions, beliefs, and "politics" of the masses–what was referred to as "the bewildered herd"–was a simple matter of creative media management.

It worked flawlessly in 1917–German-Americans got their heads handed to them, with the connivance of the State–and it works today.

To address the perennial all-American concern, "Why Johnny Can't Read" check with Johnny's dopey, gullible, TV-watching parents. Obama got the award because "they" knew that Johnny's parents would not only approve–they'd be thrilled!

"The Republican Party has thrown in its lot with the terrorists – the Taliban and Hamas this morning – in criticizing the President for receiving the Nobel Peace prize."

In response to that comment, the GOP are filing a copyright infringement lawsuit.

Not sure about the indignation or surprise here. In 1994 Yasser Arafat, Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Rabin received the same price. Not much later Rabin was dead while the results of a shaky Oslo went nowhere.

As such the price was meant to encourage the atmosphere of dialog, to emphasize the general approach. Obama's approach, the outspoken intention and first steps of initiated dialog and declaring the goal of nuclear disarmament are exactly in line with the purpose of the price awarded here.

Some other years the price was based on accomplishments over many decades but this year the price meant to contribute to a development. Bizarre or not, it's consistent with the history of this price.

This is also my criticism on the "Bizarro World" hypothesis, the idea that something happened in 2001 that crossed the line. To me it seems like the same old business. Perhaps more outlined, more exaggerated than ever, but the world has become more complex and networked, drawing new attention toward its very mechanism.

Paris "came out" into the limelight after a certain sexual tape went viral. We, the poor sods of the USSA, are being screwed in ways she couldn't hold a candle to.

First thing that came to my mind–when Israel was bombing the poor defenceless Palistinians in Dec. 2008,Obama turned his back on these folks and said,Im not the president at this time,don't bother me now.
But he did get envolved in commenting on the Georgia/russia conflict. I got news for you, Obama got the peace prize/money for helping Israel getting more pieces of Palistine :^/
