Another Pulitzer Category Is Needed

[Flanders]

If they awarded a Pulitzer Prize in the “No Shit!” category John Sexton’s reporting deserves it:

Geir Lundestad served as secretary to the committee for 25 years until he retired near the end of last year. In a new book, which is set to be released Thursday, Lundestad says awarding Obama the Peace Prize was intended to strengthen his hand but that it did not have the desired effect. He writes, “Even many of Obama’s supporters believed that the prize was a mistake. In that sense the committee didn’t achieve what it had hoped for.”

To blastoff: Their biggest mistake was thinking that a Nobel Peace Prize means anything to anybody except Socialists/Communists. I’ve posted a number of messages critical of the Nobel. This excerpt is from a compilation of my observations and interpretation:

NOTE: A fair guestimate of the number of people who ever heard of the Nobel PP is around 2 percent of the 6 billion adults in the world. The number of people who care drops to a minute fraction of 1 percent.

Calling it a Peace Prize is a misnomer to begin with because the PP is often awarded for salesmanship rather than achievement, or to put it more succinctly it is based on selling the absence of war rather than predicated on preventing governments from engaging in institutional murder.
