Nobel prize winner Dorris Lessing had the following to say about Barack Obama:
“would certainly not last long, a black man in the position of president. They would murder him,”
I can’t believe that in this day and age people still think that way. If this were the case Obama would not have [...]

Menchú, a la que confundieron con una vendedora ambulante, fue sacada por el personal del hotel Coral Beach, donde había acudido para conceder una entrevista.Trabajadores del hotel la confundieron con una vendedora ambulante al ir vestida con su habitual vestimenta maya y procedieron a sacarla de las instalaciones hoteleras, relata la prensa española.Menchú participa como invitada especial del presidente mexicano, Felipe Calderón, en la asamblea de la Asociación Nacional de Agua Potable y Saneamiento (ANEAS) que fue inaugurada por el propio mandatario en el Centro de Convenciones de Cancún.Sin embargo, según informa la cadena mexicana Unión Radio, no es la primera vez que la premio Nobel de la Paz de 1992 es expulsada de un hotel a causa de su atuen
Doris Lessing, who won the Nobel Literature Prize recently said the following:
”September 11 was terrible, but if one goes back over the history of the IRA, what happened to the Americans wasn’t that terrible,” the Nobel Literature Prize winner told the leading Spanish daily El Pais.

Biologist James Watson, winner of the 1962 Nobel Prize for his role in discovering the double-helix structure of DNA, is apparently a racist idiot. Click-through to full article here.Watson apologized profusely yesterday for a statement that he made in which he insinuated that black people were not as intelligent as white people. He went on to say that he was "mortified" by public reaction to his comments and that he "cannot understand how (he) could have said what (he is) quoted as having said." Let's take a look at what he actually said and see if we can help him to understand what passed through those unruly lips of his.In an interview with The Sunday Times, the 79-year-old pair of lips molded the air being passed through them into words that indicated that he was "inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa" because "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours -- whereas all the testing says not really." Here's a shot of Dr. Watson d

Hoy se ha anunciado al ganador del Premio Nobel de la Paz.
Este premio se distribuirá entre el ex Vicepresidente de EE.UU. Al Gore y el Grupo Intergubernamental sobre el Cambio Climático (IPCC) de la ONU.
En los días previos ya se había anunciado al resto de los ganadores del Premio, quedando distribuido de la siguiente manera:
Premio Nobel de Física: Albert Fert (Francia) y Peter Grünberg (
The "Cult of Climatology" gets rammed down our throats once again. The Goreacle now joins the ranks of terrorist Yasser Arafat as past Nobel prize winners. Former Vice President Al Gore, newly named co-winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, said Friday he hopes the honor will "elevate global consciousness" about the challenges of global warming. Gore was awarded the prize Friday along with an international network of scientists for spreading awareness of man-made climate change and laying the foundations for counteracting it. Shortly after being named the winner, he said he would donate his half of the $1.5 million prize money to the Alliance for Climate Protection, a bipartisan nonprofit organization that is devoted to changing public opinion worldwide about the urgency of solving the climate crisis. The Goreacle may want to consider keeping that prize money to pay his electricity and gas bill. After all, his home uses 20 times more electricity and gas than the average Ameri
With previous Nobel Peace Prize winners like of Jimmy Carter, U.S. President that bungled Iranian Hostage Crisis (2002), Yassir Arafat, Father of Modern Terrorism (1994), Mohhamed el-Baradei, inept IAE U.N. Inspector (2006), Kofi Annan U.N. Scam Artist Extroidinare (2001), Al Gore, the U.S. President Wanna-be and Sci-fi filmmaker, should feel privileged indeed…

Former Vice President Al Gore will share the Nobel prize with the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for his outstanding efforts to alert the world to dangers of changes in the environment. “His strong commitment reflective in political activities, films, and books has strengthened the struggle against climate change” was stated as main reasons [...]
Kudos to Al Gore and the UN Climate Panel. Let’s hope recognition by the Nobel committee can get climate change into a more prominent place in our politics and popular culture sometime before eggs start frying on our sidewalks.
The Nobel Prize then it is all political. Gore is a rock star like politician for the left but for the rest of us he is just a wind bag who does not practice what he preaches.
Unos definen a Doris Lessing como salvaje, rebelde y coqueta. Otros, como una mujer hermosa: físicamente, de joven, hermosa ahora, de sabia comprensión de la vida.Doris Lessing acaba de ganar el Nobel de Literatura, inesperadamente, dice El Universal, a diferencia de lo ocurrido en el 2006, cuando el turco Orhan Pamuk era el principal favorito, y lo ganó.Esta vez, según los entendidos, los favoritos eran otros: Claudio Magris, Ko Un, Philip Roth, Don Delillo, Adonis, Amos Oz, Mario Vargas Llosa, Margaret Atwood, Antonio Lobo Antunes, Bob Dylan…Es que Doris Lessing había sido tantas veces candidata, como Jorge Luis Borges, que este año ya no lo era. O nadie se acordaba que ella seguía siéndolo.Quizás por esto el nombre de Doris Lessing encontró a las librerías desaprovisionadas. De ella no hay ejemplares, ni siquiera de su última novela, La hendidura.De Doris Lessing encontré que comenzó a publicar muy temprano, y que en el 2001 ganó el Premio Príncipe de Asturias.Tamb
O Prêmio Nobel de Física foi concedido neste ano para o francês Albert Fert e o alemão Peter Grünberg, cujas pesquisas revolucionaram o mundo da informática ao encontrar a chave que permitiu aumentar a capacidade de armazenamento dos HDs (discos rígidos) e, assim, minimizar o tamanho desse hardware.

More BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome) from a bleeding heart liberal. Nobel Peace Prize winner Betty Williams came from Ireland to Texas to declare that President Bush should be impeached. In a keynote speech at the International Women's Peace Conference on Wednesday night, Ms. Williams told a crowd of about 1,000 that the Bush administration has been treacherous and wrong and acted unconstitutionally. "Right now, I could kill George Bush," she said at the Adam's Mark Hotel and Conference Center in Dallas. "No, I don't mean that. How could you nonviolently kill somebody? I would love to be able to do that." I hope she finds herself in a dirty little cell soon for threatening the president. When an audience member told Ms. Williams that Vice President Dick Cheney would become president if George Bush were impeached, she said, "Can't you impeach them both?" "It's twisted. It's all wrong," she said. "There are so many lies being told. It's hard to be an American
