Former Vice President Al Gore and the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts to spread awareness of man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures needed to counteract it.

Gore, who won an Academy Award this year for his film "An Inconvenient Truth," a documentary on global warming, had been widely expected to win the prize.

He got an Emmy for helping to create Current TV, not for An Inconvenient Truth.

they gave a shared prize to Arafat, Rabin, and Peres as a gesture "for their efforts to create peace in the Middle East"

once again: i am amazed that people would shit talk the Nobel Peace Prize. it is given out purely to recognize people or organizations who have tried to make the world a bit less fucked up.

I know the prize was shared. I dispute that Arafat tried to create peace. He disappointed Clinton terribly, and me as well; I so thought they might have made it happen...

sample criteria: mustn't hate bush, mustn't be hippy liberal, mustn't actually be concerned with peace as much as politics and your own selfishness.

I don't know. Is there some season that's especially associated with asshole-fuckfacery?

Maybe Christmas. I hate Christmas.
