European Union Wins Nobel Peace Prize

Another in a long line of shark jumping moments by the peace prize committee

The European Union won the Nobel Peace Prize for its long-term role in uniting the continent, the Norwegian Nobel Committee said on Friday, an award seen as a morale boost for the bloc as it struggles to resolve its debt crisis.

The committee praised the 27-nation EU for rebuilding after World War Two and for its role in spreading stability to former communist countries after the 1989 fall of the Berlin Wall.

AT $1.2 million for 500 million EU residents, each person can expect to get 1/5 of a cent. Awesome! That will cure the 'austerity'.

If Gary Johnson is elected he ought to receive 100 peace Nobel prizes in the same year because he will REALLY solve the debt crisis!
