Nobel has lost its noble status

Nobel Prize trouble come in threes.

Noting that the nomination deadline for the Nobel Peace Prize was just 12 days after Obama took office, it seemed incredible that this man, who had done nothing, (and still hasn't) was awarded the prize. But one shouldn't be surprised at a committee of the Norwegian Parliament gifted a past president who thought he was attacked by a rabbit while swimming in the ocean and bestowed a similar honor upon a past vice-president who claimed he invented the Internet.

What a shame that a once "Noble Nobel" has sunk to this.
