Nobel Oblige

Regarding NYTimes OP-ED Sunday, Oct 18 and the many other fandangos about the Nobel Peace Prize—
Reading Bono's furthering of discourse today on Nobel Oblige, it occurred to me that right-wing radicals opposing the peace prize such as Rush Limbaugh, Fox Fascist News and certain congressmen might award their own peace prize—or Belligerance Prize—to another candidate. Wouldn't this be more productive for Mr Limbaugh than to ram his millions into St. Louis? And even on the so-called "left" there are many with a spare million-plus to give who could announce their candidates too. Rather like our marathon election here some years ago to re-call Governor Grey Davis, almost anyone can award a peace prize.
