US President Barack Obama has said he was "surprised and deeply humbled" to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize

Ofcourse he is surprised , he has done FA, or have I missed something?

he's given us all hope - that appears to be enough these days.

Although being frank, i think i could have got the nobel peace prize if i got the job after the last bloke!!!!

In the same time frame, George Dubyah Bush had invaded 8 countries, deposed 12 governments, started 4 wars, detained without trial 4.3 million people and run over next door cat.

See all i've done is welded a few bits of metal, earned some cash going to work every day and had a few drinks.........

between me and Dubya ..... i'd get the noble peace prize

02GF74 - 10/10/09 at 08:07 AM

heard he was nominated for the prize 14 days into his presidency!! WTF???

if he had any boallls, he'd refuse to accept the prize; he has already given back the $ 1.5 mill to charidee so good for him.

Yeah I was trying to imply that I don't see what he's done. I can't see him doing anything for palestine either. I hope I'm wrong though

I've not heard muslimgauze, just wiki'd it but i'm on dial up so can't check it out on youtube, any good?

hard to describe themusic but goes under industrial tag; samples played back repeatedly with eastern drums.

not radical death metals so unlikley to your test.

lo fi india abuse (or something like that) would be a good intro. the man behind it, Bryn Jones, deceased < 2000, released proably a 100 records and proabably the same number rerleased after his death.
