Screwball A$s Holes always walk away with that thing, next year they'll give it to Cindy Sheehan.

Bout time someone recognized algore for inventing the internets.

Great, deserving acknowledgement of a true visionary. If we're lucky, he'll enter the presidential race and hopefully restore intelligent leadership to the White House.

-- And that's a bunch of crap. Gore never claimed he invented the Internet. What he did take credit for was pushing to have use of and access to the Internet applied at the level of federal government.

Gore certainly deserves this prize. He is leading the fight against a consortium of business interests, who have the money and tools to manipulate the facts and create the illusion that there are some legitimate questions about the human contribution to global warming. Even extremists like Bush and Pat Robertson are starting to change their tunes.

This award has been irrelevant for a long time. As has algore.

He believes it because someone he doesn't like won the award. He probably had more respect when Lech Walesa won. The Nobel Prize is certainly the most respected international prize around. It may not always be perfect, but can anyone think of one that commands broader respect?
