It may seem kind of funny for Obama to get the Nobel Peace prize, especially when he didn't do anything.  But he did earn it later when he escalated the war in Afghanistan.   ???

Study after study has shown how dangerous distracted driving is yet people continue to talk on their cell phones while driving. Driving in the U.S. requires your full attention. Many states and countries have made it illegal to use a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle and the federal government should follow their lead. Banning the use of cell phones while driving would have the added benefit of making the no-texting law enforceable.

And the EU deserves it for not killing each other for 67 years.


In case you missed it, I am not joking

PARIS — By naming the European Union the recipient of the 2012 peace prize on Friday, the Norwegian Nobel Committee made an unconventional choice that celebrated the bloc’s postwar integration even as a financial crisis and political infighting threaten to tear it apart.

Yeah; 1942 to present... 70 years... take any 70 year period prior to '45, and it was ugly there. Glad they're reforming some, if they are. Much tougher neighborhood than here in North America. We've been blessed to be a big power with small ones on either side - apologies to the Canadians, esp - nothing like having Germany on one side, and Russia on the other...

I thought the EU was fairly new thing. If we are to give it to groups for not fighting then we need to give it to the inventor of the A-bomb. If not for that little jewel somebodies language would be extint.
