So you're saying Beyonce should have won the Nobel peace (piece ?) prize ?

There is wailing, and gnashing of teeth...

You got that right. They need a Nobel Prize for Torture. Certain
people are feeling left out. *While they are at it, they should create
a Nobel Prize for Intelligent Design to balance out all those science
prizes.
The funny part- the Nobel Foundation is a private organization
specified in the will of industrialist Alfred Nobel.

I'm waiting for the screaming: "AFFIRMATIVE ACTION NOBEL WINNER".
Nothing yet (of course, I don't listen to Rush or watch O'Unreality,
or Fox or...).

Well, I think you're making a very strange sort of mistake. There's
nothing funny about any private foundation doing whatever it wants. Me
and SOTS have Nobel's back on that principle.


It's funny because the wailing and gnashing of teeth is coming from
quarters that normally support the right of private organizations to
do as they please. It just shows that these people don't really have
any values.

Maybe Obama should come out strongly against Republicans committing
suicide. Let's test the limits of the knee-jerk jerks. It could work.

Yeah, but it doesn't bother me as much as this does:

Limbo should be appopoleptically entertaining on the subject.

She has a longer record on the international stage than your beloved
president. It would be a bold choice, I admit, but if the video for
"Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" isn't something we can all agree on,
I don't know what is.

Just the video:

As for Kanye, I'd bet long odds on him having Obama's back on this one,
but I'd enlist him for his self-established role as court jester to
improbable awards.

Of course, I'm still mad "How Green Was My Valley" won, and that was
before my parents were born.

Cold and timid soul:

You are, I think, willfully Not Getting It.

Any one of us right-wing kooks reserves the right to disagree with what
private organizations do. I disagree with the IWW, DERA, The MTV awards
committee, McDonald's wretched decision to change from a fried apple pie
to a baked one, and team Astana, as well as the Nobel organization.

What I do not do is assume their activities are philosophically
illegitimate or worthy of sanction (except where illegal). I don't
propose to make their actions illegal except where they substantially
and illegitimately affect the rights of others or attempt a radical and
untested remaking of society (which is a crude claim that I am a
conservative, not a libertarian).

The way I feel about governments is that, as a compelled stakeholders, I
hope that the size of a government, the breadth and the complexity of
its edicts, and its attendant demand for taxes, will be considered de
facto negatives, and weighed most heavily against the purported benefits
of whatever new law, regulatory entaglement, or demand for taxes (or
deficits) comes along.

Nominally conservative governments (and left-leaning ones too) fail
these tests all the time, for reasons of expedience, pandering,
philosophical differences, or just being dumb ****s. Nominally
conservative pundits fail these tests too, but I don't claim that my
definition of conservativism is the best one, or an exclusive one.

It would be rather like defining liberalism using whatever the IWW says.

Executive Summary: get back to me when the Nobel Committee is outlawed.

Quite right.

I wasn't intending to single out Christianity by any means. I apologize
to any and all other religions I may have slighted with my insensitive
comments. Thank you.
