The Nobel Committee done gone got it right this year, going two for two (at least with the prizes I pay attention to, Peace and Literature) by giving the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize to Chinese Dissident Liu Xiaobo. The People's Republic of China (still commies, by the way) is PISSED OFF tonight. And if you get the steel panties of the People's Republic of China in a bunch, then kids you've done something right.
Congratulations to Liu Xiaobo and hopefully this new prize brings some needed attention to the struggle for human rights and political reform in China.
(Since the news broke, Liu's wife has apparently been forced out of her home by the authorities. Dick move, China. Dick move.)
