Politics and Timings

First, the NPP is often awarded the same (or next) year after the act that it is awarded for.

However:

"to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between the nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses".

Someone explain how that definition fits anything that Al Gore has done.

I personally think that the prize lost any and all meaning when it was never awarded to Ghandi...but if there were any doubt...this seals it.

The Nobel Peace Prize is absolutely meaningless. Ranks right up there with the Pulitzer now.

As for Congress...I haven't been paying close attention to that story, but last I heard the only vote that had been taken was the one to get it out of committee, so it hadn't been officially passed last I heard. That was two days ago I think so someone tell me if it's been passed by the full congress yet.

Either way, what should we expect from the vermin on the hill? Not only does it not make sense to make the declaration now, due to how much more difficult it may make our lives in the Middle East...but don't we have a massive immigration problem to deal with right now??? Even if they don't want to deal with that...and they've made it abundantly clear they do not...there [b]has[/b] to be something better they can be doing with their time!
