A Noble Nobel

Skyepuppy has a wonderful post about how the Nobel Prize people got it right this year. She also has a link to former Prize winners, but go there at your own risk - you risk outrage and nausea.

You'd think that you'd find Jesus on the list - some sort of lifetime achievement award, but no. However, the list of former winners contains Mother Theresa, who wouldn't be there but for Jesus. And looking at the list you might wonder how many of these lives and accomplishments were inspired by that guy that changed the world when he did that sermon-on-the-mount thing.

In my perfect world, Jesus would get the Nobel Prize - nowhere in the announcement would you find the word "posthumously" - and flying to Europe to accept the award for Jesus would be some "street preacher" who works with drunks and crack whores when he isn't manning the grill at Wendy's. Yes, that sounds about right.
