Okay, imagine you're willfully ignorant and a bit short on niceness.

Poll question: Okay, imagine you're willfully ignorant and a bit short on niceness.

You find a website operated by and for individuals with your particular affliction. You're comfortable; you get to have a lot of people applaud your meanness. Then, one day, you stumble across this headline: Rush Limbaugh Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize!!!

Wow, you think! I've been right all along!

Now, do you:

4. That's funny - your headline made me spit beer a bit...
Did these people bother to check to see who is (and is not) eligible to make Nobel Peace Prize nominations? To wit:

1. Members of national assemblies and governments of states;
2. Members of international courts;
3. University rectors; professors of social sciences, history, philosophy, law and theology; directors of peace research institutes and foreign policy institutes;
4. Persons who have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize;
5. Board members of organizations who have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize;
6. Active and former members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee; (proposals by members of the Committee to be submitted no later than at the first meeting of the Committee after February 1) and
7. Former advisers appointed by the Norwegian Nobel Institute.

I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out which of these categories the "leading conservative public interest law firm" falls into... :rofl:

To the contrary, I, as a (tenure-track assistant) professor of a social science (cf #3) will be happy to submit a nomination for anyone who is not a pill-popping, Caribbean-prostitute-visiting, lie-telling, race-baiting, ignorance-flaunting polluter of the public airwaves... :)

6. If I were all that
I'd probably tell all my equally deficient friends, "Did you hear Rush got nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize?!?"



Which is exactly what's gonna happen. No qualifers, no nothin'. Just "Rush got nominated."

:eyes:

7. Wow. Just wow.
Rush Limbaugh would be lucky to get nominated to clean out my toilets. With his tongue.
