Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

Top Ten Candidates Who Almost Won the Nobel Prize

10. Dr. Neil Farkas, DDS, Sheboygan, WI, for once thinking about a new type of dental adhesive before forgetting about it
9. Sue Lefkowitz, homemaker, Poughkeepsie, NY, for vowing on New Years Eve to lose her last 20 pregnancy pounds (she gained 6)
8. Alex Rodriguez, Yankees third baseman, NY, NY, for having the intention of one day hitting a home run in October
7. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, for almost being elected President of Iran, and then bringing "peace" to that country as President of Iran
6. Stanley Urquhart, assistant pipefitter, Des Moines, IA, for "seriously considering" legally changing his name to Jake "The Snake" Drake (pure unadulterated awesome!) and joining the Ultimate Fighting League, at least after he finally makes that brown belt that sensei has been holding back from him for a year
5. Charles Johnson, blogger, Santa Monica, CA, for "conspicuous heroism" in defending a little-trafficked website from fascists, neo-nazis, white supremacists, and other Enemies of the Blog
4. Myron Klepnitz, IT supervisor, Brooklyn, NY, for writing a chapter and a half and "copious notes" for his "vampire erotica" novel tentatively titled Suck
3. ACORN
2. Ace of Spades, blogger, whereabouts unknown, for posting by 11:30 am
...and the Number One Candidate who almost won a Nobel Prize...
1. One-tenth of an ounce of that stinky, sweaty, rancid-buttery grey fuzz that collects at the bottom of your belly-button and kind of scratches when you try to fish it out

The Onion has announced they are ceasing operations, in a statement they said "We simply cannot compete with the comedic genius of the Nobel committee."

How the Nobel Peace Prize Is Awarded

Quote:
The Norwegian Nobel Committee's deadline for nominations was February 1, just 11 days after Obama's inauguration. Up to 200 nominations are received annually by the committee, a number that has risen steadily as the award has become increasingly global.

President Obama, the third sitting American president to win the Nobel Peace Prize, was selected from a so-called "short list" of 5 to 20 finalist candidates.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee's deadline for nominations was February 1, just 11 days after Obama's inauguration. Up to 200 nominations are received annually by the committee, a number that has risen steadily as the award has become increasingly global.
"There may occasionally be several thousand nominators behind one and the same nominee," the committee's Web site reads.
A record 205 nominations were received by the committee this year, including 33 organizations. The previous record was 199 in 2005.
A nomination is considered valid by the Nobel Foundation if it's submitted by a member of national assemblies and governments, including members of the Inter-Parliamentary Union; members of the Permanent Court of Arbitration at the Hague and of the International Court of Justice at the Hague; members of Institut de Droit International; university professors of history, political science, philosophy, law and theology; former Nobel Peace Prize winners and board members of institutions that have previously won; and former permanent advisers to the Norwegian Nobel Institute.

So far he's been all talk about peace. Maybe Obama should hand it over to whomever writes his speeches.

A "great political convenience".

Does this now take Obama and the libs off the hook in sending more troops to Afganistan? Afterall, THAT wouldn't be an act of peace. Gee, how ironic.
