Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

I think the Nobel committee did this just to make American conservatives mad.

yeah, Obama doesn't need any more godlike expectations set for him. He's still trying to live up to the ones we set for him during the campaign...

Matt Yglesias, writing from overseas:

"It’s interesting to contrast the reception of the Peace Prize news in the US media to what they’re showing right now on BBC World News. In both America and internationally, a wide swathe [sic] of people are a bit dubious. But in America the people who are really outraged are conservative Republicans. In a global sense, however, the folks who are really upset are from various quarters of the Muslim world, especially Pakistanis and Palestinians."
