1. I'm not sure they would have the same categories
I think they'd have categories like antiunionism, religion, propaganda (something to catapault).

6. They wouldn't call it "Nobel" though. Something for reality deniers.
Maybe The Nazis. As in, "There are none so blind as those who will nazi."

9. LOL k&r
isn't it amazing how everything that the entire literate world seems to accept as reality as we know it is just "liberal bias?"

maybe it's liberal majority of the western world. (can't speak for everyone- and that's their target.)

whenever any talking head says "liberal bias" they should hear... "you mean liberal majority opinion, not only in America but around the world?"

11. Bush already tooted their prize for chemistry.
Their prize for literature only has pictures with numbers in it that can be colored according to a complex chart.

Their prize for medicine had to be recalled because of lead contamination.

Their prize for peace was being treated at Walter Reed and hasn't been heard from for a long while.

Their prize for physics is a pair of gym shorts and a t-shirt to be presented personally by former Congressman Foley.

They did create a new category prize for propaganda, however the competition was so stiff, they just declared everybody a winner and went home.

Among the 2007 winners:

PEACE: The Air Force Wright Laboratory, Dayton, Ohio, USA, for instigating research & development on a chemical weapon -- the so-called "gay bomb" -- that will make enemy soldiers become sexually irresistible to each other.

14. Sort of OT
but why is that that they think that anything without an extreme hard right bias has a liberal bias? What is it like to live in a reality that is biased against you?

20. well
what is it like to live in a reality that is biased against you?

I think in medical circles it's called paranoid schizophrenia

causes its victims to lose touch with reality. They often begin to hear, see, or feel things that aren't really there (hallucinations) or become convinced of things that simply aren't true (delusions). In the paranoid form of this disorder, they develop delusions of persecution or personal grandeur. The first signs of paranoid schizophrenia usually surface between the ages of 15 and 34. There is no cure, but the disorder can be controlled with medications. Severe attacks may require hospitalization.

21. Why sure... 'The Dumbell Fleece Prize' would be very competitive...
Given to those who lack intelligence and common sense who nevertheless succeed in aiding and abetting their corrupt cronies in 'fleecing' Americans of their Government collected tax receipts and their own belongings and properties.

This year's nominees: George W. Bush and Dick Cheney
