[SlaveNoMore]

Atticus Grinch
I had hoped two things would happen by asking the cons for five Nobel nominations.

Lemme guess? One of then was that reasonable discussion would ensue, and that I could avoid it all and take potshots after everyone (including the drunken, suicidal Sox fans) went to sleep?

One, I hoped to show that they could not name five ideologically pure living individuals whom they would admire for advancing the cause of peace.

I named 7. You've named none.

I accomplished this by Bilmore and Club expressly admitting they couldn't come up with five

They were wavering on the Norwegian flavor of the moment. And perhaps they thought that Nobel would overlook the preposterous slight in 1990 (when they only gave it to Gorbachev) and post-humously award it to Reagan.

, and Slave tacitly admitting so by including Bono.

How is this fucking tacit? The guy is a rich prick who goes out of his way to try to enhance the life of Africans. Not for glory. Not for publicity. Even if misguided, totally altruistic.

However, Nobel doesn't award altruism. It award politics. Typically Anti-US politics. Also recall Carter's initial snub back in 1978 after the Egypti-Israel talks - after the man brokered the entire thing.

Two, I hoped against hope that the con side would tacitly admit that the Nobel has more moral authority than their Coulteresque constant repetition of the Carter/Arafat awards would indicate --- as if these two were the only ones ever to have won the award (in Arafat's case, he wasn't even the only recipient that year).

Yes, this year's recipient, claiming that the CIA created the AIDS virus, refutes this. Are you fucking out of your mind???

I had hoped merely that they would name people who as a categorical matter leant credence to the Nobel committee's equanimity and fundamental even-handedness in awarding the Peace Prize.

I tried to name people dedicated to freedom. As opposed to zealots for a random cause opposite the US.

They surpassed my wildest dreams by repeatedly naming people WHOM THEY HAD FORGOTTEN HAD PREVIOUSLY WON THE AWARD.

Billmore is old and still uses a sliderule. And have you seen Club's spelling? Neither of them have good Google Fu.

By the way, who won the award in 1992? Don't bother - I know you have to look it up yourself

All in all, it looks like calling the Nobel Committee a bunch of dupes and internationalist assholes is thoroughly debunked.

Um...no and hell no.

What, we're going to shit on them now for not naming Reagan before he died?

See 1990 award. Think. Wash. Repeat.

I'm batting 1.000.

In AAA perhaps. But here in the big show, you're off your game. Take some more batting practice before you return with such crap. You sound like GGG on a bad day.

If I can think of other goals accomplished by this exercise, I'll add them.

How about this one:

I'm smarter than Slave. How did I let him school me on this topic?
