I've been reminded now repeatedly, that the Nobel peace prize isn't necessarily given out to reward people, but also exists to be given to people in the midst of their work, to encourage them to proceed. My argument with that is that there has to be some work to proceed on, and I think Obama's barely started.
Mostly I'm just grumpy because I don't like surprises, and I don't think this puts the Nobel committee in particularly good odor right now. Like you, I'm feeling sort of irritable about all this.
