Bush, Blair nominated for Nobel prize for Iraq war

OSLO, May 8 (Reuters) A Norwegian parliamentarian nominated U.S. President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair for the Nobel Peace Prize today, praising them for winning the war in Iraq.

''Sometimes it's necessary to use a small and effective war to prevent a much more dangerous war in the future,'' Jan Simonsen, a right-wing independent in Norway's parliament, told Reuters.

John Horgan makes the case for therapeutic (and other) uses of psychedelics. Kind of surprising fare for the stuffy Slate.

Wasn't someone (Bruno?) wondering if google had any misspellings of a word that returned more hits than the correct spelling? I can't find the original question. But anyway, along with some other interesting misspelling info, this post finds such a case: the incorrect "transexual" (2860k results) is the more common than the correct spelling of "transsexual" (1660k results.)

The suppressed story of the broadcast feed from the carrier Abraham Lincoln being altered in real time earlier this week during the President's bravura visit. ;-)
