    What a crying shame.

    Note to self "supporting death and carnage can and will stop you from being considered a model of peace,kindness, and love for all".

    I thought Nobel nominations were kept secret. Is there a place I can get a list of past nominees?

    The person or group nominating can go public if they chose so. From what I've read on one link, the group that decides who wins the Prize doesn't publish a complete nominee list until 50 years later.

    Hitler and Milosevich were nominated. Looks like Bush/Blair were nominated in 2003 and 2004. Maybe not in 2005.

    Why would anybody nominate Hitler, Milosevic, Bush, or Blair?

    I still don't believe it when people say Jeb won't be running in 2008.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see him pop up as a contender in 2012 or 2016 if not in 2008, Shaggie.

    Or perhaps Marvin Bush.
