#3 Abbas wants Nobel Prize

Why not. I heard they started giving them away in early 2009.

#4 I'm sure he wants the check more than the prize.

Maybe not. The prize would be a huge PR coup.

#5 I had a thought similar to Gorb's - if Obama can get one for doing nothing, why not Abbas?

#6 Unlikely to happen. The US President needs another boost, this time the first year double, peace and economics. Next year peace and literature. Finally he retires the peace prize and begins to consider The Americas Cup and how shabbily they have treated people who lack racing yachts.

#7 I hear they are giving away a Nobel Peace Prize with every purchase of a can Norwegian Mackerel. Suggest Abbas smuggle in a case so every member of the Fatah cabinet can have their own.

#9 I'm still campaigning for Obama to win the Cy Young and the Heisman trophy, and I'm still hopeful.

#11 The Nobel Prize has come to mean nothing. Yasser Arafat, Al Gore, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, The UN, Jimmy Carter. If this yoyo gets it, it will follow in the recent tradition of meaning nothing. In fact it will mean less than nothing.
