    Live wins the Nobel Peace Prize (well, *any* Nobel, really) over dead pretty much any year. Unfair and all, but it’s the way they work.

    (Hit send before i finished–sorry.) And for the Nobel committee, really, really old==dead.

    The way the Nobel committee works really isn’t a happy way to give what’s arguably the world’s most prestigious single award. Nothing to do about it, though, i’m afraid.

    I think she just died this year and so she was alive when Gore won.

    That’s too bad about the Nobel prize.
