As a side note to those who don't already know - Alfred Nobel is the man who invented dynamite (the derivatives of which would be used in bombs, nukes, etc). Once he realized the destruction and death his invention would cause, he created the NOBEL Peace prize.

SuperLib - do I have to spell it out for you? Obama had less than two weeks in office before the date he was submitted as a contender. Nominations had to be submitted by Feb 1st. That means whatever he did to "deserve" the prize had to happen between the time he became president in January, and the nomination due date of Feb 1st. Therefore, he had less than two weeks to perform prize-worthy acts. It doesn't matter when they CHOSE the winner.

"Obama took office less than two weeks before the Feb 1 nomination deadline." Somebody's kissing somebody's butt, or somebody paid off somebody. How the hell could ANYONE do enough in less than two weeks to deserve this auspicious award? Bullsh_t.

Too early to celebrate. Even if the 31% risk reduction is accurate, that still leaves a 69% chance you will become infected after having unprotected sex with an HIV+ partner. That's like playing Russian Roulette with a revolver that has 4 loaded chambers and two empty ones. Who likes those odds?

I was wondering the same thing. Set aside the moral issues for a moment. How did he "get caught"? More information please.

Well, now he'll get what he wanted - somebody to take care of him so he doesn't have to support himself. He should have plenty of time to think about what he wants to be when he grows up. Moron.

adaydream - "you want to enforse that they start looking at SSNs" "You want doctors to start checking nationalities and lenagies." "you want to try to place illegals in regular doctor's offices." "You think they have health insurance"
Just how did you deduce all of this from my simple statement that paid health care will attract more illegal immigrants?
"You'll have to do better than that".

adaydream - Critics note that there are no enforcement mechanisms, or language on how to verify whether or not someone is in this country legally. No language enforcing/verifying = it's ok.
Paid health care for illegal immigrants will act as a catalyst. Even more, especially those from Mexico and central America, will want to go to the United States

“If I had not joined the Army, if I had not gone to Iraq, I would not have got caught up in anything.” What a moron. Blame the Army for things you did willingly and with malice. May you be haunted by them while you are rotting in prison.

Koga was found about 200 meters away. Koga has denied he was the driver of the vehicle, however, and said that his car was stolen. So they stole your car, and drove it 200 meters. I'm sure the judges will buy that.

Don't worry about this guy. When his time comes, all of his victims will be waiting for him. Like the scene at the end of the "Titanic" movie, but in a bad way.

But the propofol is normally only administered before surgery under the supervision of an anesthesiologist, because patients frequently stop breathing during its use. Forget about all the other drugs being used, he should never have been given the propofol in that situation. I am sure the doctor was paid a lot to do it. Unfortunately, his greed led to Jackson's death. Doctors are supposed to take an oath which states "first, do no harm". It seems this doctor took a different oath "first, get much cash".

I can't understand why some interpret Islam the way they do. Drink a beer and get beaten, but blow up innocent "infidels" and get 70 virgins, damn.

"Should the U.S. imperialists and (South Korean government) threaten the (North) with nukes, it will retaliate against them with nukes", except the US/ROK nukes are computer-controlled/satellite-guided etc., while the NK nukes will be tied to the back of an ox cart and dragged to their targets.
