That's all I can think of as to why he got the award -- that and for NOT being President Bush (take your pick of which one).

Hrm. My mistake. I'll correct it. Thanks for the tip. Edit: Googled it. There are 5 Nobel prizes. 4 of them are awarded in Sweden, the Peace Prize is awarded in Norway. I guess you learn something new every day. Thanks again! Alfred Nobel is Swedish and the Prize is Norwegian? Hrm. My mistake. I’ll correct it. Thanks for the tip.

Just one thing, the Nobel price is Swedish except of the Nobel peace price that is Norwegian. I'm Swedish so at least I can blame the Norwegians:) Don’t agree about much things in your blog but here I do.
