Prizes

The best take on the Norwegians awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to Barack Obama came from today's Washington Post:

In a stunning announcement, Millard Fillmore Senior High School chose Shawn Rabinowitz, an incoming junior, as next year’s valedictorian. The award was made, the valedictorian committee announced from Norway of all places, on the basis of “Mr. Rabinowitz’s intention to ace every course and graduate number one in class.”

 Maybe Obama will go on to actually earn it.  We can hope.

Many of the commenters on the story mention "sleepless nights ahead for conservatives", but I think they'll be disappointed.  Most conservatives I know will just shake their head saying, "There they go again," and turn the page as the Peace Prize ceased to mean anything some time ago.
