A Medallion for Monsters

You have to love the poll Common Sense & Wonder is running in its sidebar. The question is who will receive the 2008 Nobel Peace Prize. C&W has some damningly convincing candidates for the Norwegian Nobel Committee too: Hugo Chavez, Cindy Sheehan, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Noam Chomsky, Kim Jong-Il, Robert Mugabe and Fidel Castro. Given the great skill at financial mismanagement exhibited by some of these finalists, it’s entirely possible that by December 10, 2008 the cash prize of $1.5 million USD could greatly exceed the GDP of the winner’s country’s GDP.
