Well ain't that the truth, most of the UN is about hating the US.
Mather and Smoot won the prize for Physics, but the real issue to show that the Nobel committee is a lot like the UN is the fact that ALGORE won the peace prize. Beside showing his contempt for the country and adding to his riches while beating out someone who really deserved it - Irena Sendler.
Now she didn't do
anything like create a bunch of false hype on an issue that many are trying hard to close off any debate and has little scientific data backing it.
No she didn't do a thing to deserve it, she wasn't flying around in the country, adding co2 to the air while telling others that they need to return to the stone age.
Instead she and a few others back in the 40's in occupide Poland helped Jewish families get their children out of the ghetto while she was working for the government. Working with the church, she and others placed over 3000 children with families who were not Jewish and she personally smuggled out children from the Ghetto. She didn't do much though she made sure that there were records kept for the kids to be returned to their relatives after the war. When she was discovered, beaten, tortured, was sentence to death but escaped death and left in the woods with broken arms and legs.
Who really deserves the prize, some hypocrite or some hero?
Oh and about Landstar, who cares it is an outside vendor award if I am not mistaken.
