(From Lucianne.com about Al Gore's Nobel prize.)
The Wall Street Jounal runs an editorial today (don't see it openly online) about all those who did NOT get the "Peace Prize":
Burmese Monks.
Zimbabwe opposition.
Demands of women's rights in Saudi Arabia.
Garry Kasparov fighting for democracy in Russia.
People of Iraq.
Chinese bloggers.
Those helping North Korean refugees.
And more. Nope.
The Nobel Prize committee ran away from any *real* issues of war and peace.
It's no longer the Nobel Peace Prize but the Nobel PC prize.
(I guess Al Gore's film and carbon-offset business don't fit into the Science category, but PEACE?)
