EU and the Nobel Prize?

I bet the Nobel people have started using a random entity generator to pick winners.
Count your lucky stars that Romney didn't win it this time.

Other institutions such as the UN have been awarded the Nobel Peace prize before. The European Union has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for "six decades of work in advancing peace in Europe."
The committee said the EU had helped to transform Europe "from a continent of war to a continent of peace".
There will always be disagreements about who should win the Nobel prize, it has always been a bit controversial, but personally I think this award is quite well deserved.

I'm campaigning for the Peace Prize next year.
Revoltingistan has a perfect record of avoiding war with its neighbors.

Not a fan of the UN?
Better yet....auction it off.
Looks to me like the "prize" has become PR fluff intended to give credibility to someone/group for political purposes. I no longer hold the Nobel Prize in high esteem. I find that sad, because I used to think it meant something good.

What? Me worry?
Yeah, that's the ticket.
Better the EU than Obama. There haven't been any wars between the major European powers for awhile. Maybe the Union has something to do with that, in addition to all the evil it does.

The Washington Post deserves NO peace prize. What? Oh. Never mind.
I would rather be awarded the peace price than the Oscar I think.

It should have gone to that 14 year old Pakistani girl, Malala Yousufzai for her promotion of education for women in the face of cowardly Taliban ignorance.
