I think he gave a good speech and I feel the intent has to be to keep momentum toward the common goal. A way to put attention on and also to show that a level of response is expected and that the world is watching.

Stop yelling at me or her!



Let me know if you remember the name. Seems that it would be HIGHLY unusual for the Nobel committee to release a candidate's name, considering they only release the other candidates after 50 years have passed.

The current list only runs through 1956.

OKAY!

Although I don't trust Wikipedia as a source of information, here is an article on her.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irena_Sendler

Her name was Irena Sendler and according to Wikipedia(again, not the best source):

In 2007 considerable publicity[11] accompanied Sendler's nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize.[12] While failed nominations for the award have not been officially announced by the Nobel organization for 50 years, the International Peace Research Institute, Oslo, reported in 2007 that Irena Sendler's nominator had made the nomination public. [13] Regardless of its legitimacy, talk of the nomination focused a spotlight on Sendler and her wartime achievements. The 2007 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and former Vice President of the United States Al Gore.[14]

I'm glad Obama won it. He's a great guy and the best president this country has seen since George W Bush.

OK Purple, even though that was a very small joke, this committee recognizes your committment to advancing the cause of humor in today's sad sad world, and in the spirit of today's discussion, hereby awards you one

in recognition.

I also hope to win the lotto tonight so I'm not buying any tickets. That should change my luck.

OMG, I don't know what to say. Let me begin by thanking the committee for this honor and pledge to try and come up with even more small jokes in the future, almost like our president. Oh wait, sorry, that's a low blow. I'll just be quiet at put a 1/08/12 bumper sticker on the back of my Prius.

I envision a world where all can live together in peace and harmony. A world without terror. A world without nuclear weapons. A world that is safe for mankind and chickens.

Now where's my

million dollar check?
