People unclear on the concept

The youngest Nobel prize winner ever who is a brave young woman fighting for the right to education despite being shot in a murder attempt:

Of course, we have the village idiots trying to persuade people that a young woman who showed bravery and conviction despite being shot has something to do with allowing guns on campus.  Additionally, this was a young woman who was deemed worthy of a Nobel Prize.

Wow, who is calling whom a twit?

You know who else thought she was a "twit"? The Taliban.

And Afghanistan was as Stateless as you could get under the Taliban.

Trust me, these people aren't the brightest stars in the firmament.

In Support of Obama's Nobel Peace Prize

Diane Beeler wrote a wonderful post last month on her site, It Dawned on Me, in support of Obama's winning the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. At that time I read dozens of hostile reactions to it. Not one mentioned the actual criteria involved in selecting the winner from among the candidates. Diane's post made this very clear, as did this video interview from Nobelprize.com.
