" The following is the text of the announcement on Friday by the Norwegian Nobel Committee giving the Nobel Peace Prize to President Barack Obama: "The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 is to be awarded to President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The Committee has attached special importance to Obama's vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons. "Obama has as president created a new climate in international politics. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play. Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving even the most difficult international conflicts. The vision of a world free from nuclear arms has powerfully stimulated disarmament and arms control negotiations. Thanks to Obama's initiative, the USA is now playing a more constructive role in meeting the great climatic challenges the world is confronting. Democracy and human rights are to be strengthened. "Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future. His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population. "For 108 years, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has sought to stimulate precisely that international policy and those attitudes for which Obama is now the world's leading spokesman. The Committee endorses Obama's appeal that "Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges." " Nobel Prize Committees explanation.

i wonder if urban outfitters understands the disdain for them packaging up those kids culture and selling it back to them at markup.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 11:37 AM) Well, it could be by lethal injection, so you'd have a cross-shaped table instead perhaps it would be a tub to symbolize water boarding.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 01:57 PM) Those scientists who get awarded usually wait decades for recognition of their contributions. They don't get the Nobel while they're still doing the research. On the other hand, it wouldn't have been shocking to me if the ?Phillipines? aids vaccine would have won, it was an extraordinary accomplishment in a field desperately looking for one. When I was in Europe, there were a few things, seriously- a few- that they said would improve America's reputation. Obama did nearly every one in his first 10 days. edit: not the nobel peace prize but whatev. you get the gist.

unanimously.

I'd wear my medal to Israeli peace talks and keep asking bibi what awards he's won.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 01:13 PM) Except that it was tied to abstinence-only education without condoms. Blame Jesse Helms.

not mine: "“Much better than the days when news of some unexpected international recognition for our president meant that somebody threw a shoe at him.”"

yeah that was nutty.

Eh, Bush had the admirable AIDS policy.

So Obama thought he could just bully his way into the nobel voting panel and say GIVE ME THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE and they'd give it to him.

can i get a cliffs notes on this page.

Surely this is bad for America, though.

Really hope we can pull this off. A 5-0 start is a real testament to the kind of coach pinkel has become.

RIOS?

really happy we punched it in for 7 there. I'd be surprised if the offenses came alive in the second half, this weather just seems too s***ty.

heard the rain is insane in Mizzou today.

because they are shaking things up by trying to sound like the jonas brothers. He also doesn't sing. He also is a s***ty songwriter now. He's also writing songs like he's andrew wk. He sucks. Eff him.

Sorry to disagree, Crit, but that was not the saddest thing about the article. That award goes to: "Rivers Cuomo: It might be my favorite track on the album. It was an epic process coming up with it between me, [co-writer] Jermaine Dupri, and [producer] Polow Da Don-- and then Lil Wayne topped it off with this rap from the edge of the grave." "The first time I really became aware of him was when he worked the Ninja Turtles into the song "Kush". Let me look up the lyrics online. ... Ok, he says, "I feel like I'm racing a bunch of little turtles/ Keep a bandana like the Ninja Turtles." First of all, he rhymes "turtles" with "turtles," which is crazy! Second, he pronounces "turtles" with this real hard "R" so he sounds super nerdy, which is something you don't often hear from black rappers. Third, he references the Ninja Turtles! That's another thing you don't often hear."

No I seriously can't get hockey feeds don't here, no bs.

Jeeze not only was he only mentioned as a RF once, but in that post wite acknowledges his defense and gives an explanation:

Someone told me Akim Aliu could play tonite, is there truth to this...and can someone make a bunch of animations of tonites game and send them to me...i def. cannot find any hockey feeds down here.

probably because in that thread, where you talked down to people, he wasn't mentioned as an RF once. BUT YOU ARE SUPERIOR, I BOW IN YOUR DIRECTION
