that must have been before he turned into Bush...

In 1901 it was Henry Dunant and Frédéric Passy. Can we say, "Slow news day?"

Not sure if that is satire. Hitler never won the prize. He was nominated.

The single worthy recipient was the 1906 winner, Theodore "Big Stick" Roosevelt.

Bashing f'urners until they become peaceful (or dead) is the only tried and true method of achieving a meaningful peace.

Nope, nope. No satire on imao.us. Everyone can go home now.

Frank -

Any way we can get some Fun Facts about the Nobel Peace Prize?

I'm just wondering if the "fist" (fist recipient) was intentional or more Freudian in nature.

First it was first, then it was fist. Someone is playing some fisting games here.

I second chad's point. fun facts on the 'peace' prize. ( after Yasser Arafat won the peace in peace prize should be in quotes)

How is that Chris Makepeace never won?

How is IT that Chris Makepeace nev - aah, never mind...

I'm really surprised that Gore got it. I thought they would've awarded it posthumously to Hussein or Dr. Joseph Mengele. Of if it's designated for those still living, why not Mahmed Ahmadinejad? Cindy Sheehan?

Honestly, what has Gore actually done to deserve it? All he did was organize a few self-serving rock concerts to propagate a faulty theory based on bad scientific data.

bah. it's been a joke much longer than that... since at least 1978 when anwar al-sadat was made co winner...

what a joke.

From what I can see if it's history, the Nobel Peace prize has almost as much moral relevancy to world peace as an Academy Award.

I would dispute that even Teddy Roosevelt was worthy of receiving it. Yes, he had a phrase thats good, but he won the prize for negotiating peace between Russia and Japan. Aside from the fact that we shouldn't be encouraging for'ners to stop killing each other, he also negotiated the peace in favor of the Japanese empire (and the Japanese actually were an empire, not a fantasy empire like thing that liberals accuse us of being). Helping out a country that was already developing a semi-eugenicist psychology is not what I consider to be a prize worthy accomplishment.

LOL!

One of the sideshows of the Institute of Legitimate Wisdom, should it ever be founded, will be the Legitimate Peace Prize.

For legitimate peace.
Rather than measure peace in such negative terms as military downsizing, disarmament and convincing America not to invade anyone, peace will be measured in the positive terms of forming and/or improving mutually agreeable and constructive relationships between states, the protection of constructive activity, and/or the killing of totalitarianists.

Or maybe an ASTERISK * next to it in baseball home run fashion?

algore: nobel peace* prize winner

Following the Liberal logic of the Nobel committee, I think we should suggest other potential candidates. Mine would be:

OJ Simpson
Rosie O'Donnell
Sadaam Hussein
Sean Penn

It's okay ceann rua, we know Red Sox fans are all wicked retahded...

The good news is Hitler didn't win. The bad news is that Algore did.

At least he didn't win for inventing the internet or for his scientific work on Global Warming.
