Congratulations, European Unionists.

I expect acceptance speeches.

And for you to be extra peaceful this year ;)

'Course it isn't as bad as when they gave it to a president who was conducting two wars at the time and is currently giving the OK on drone strikes that kill innocents.

So far these acceptance speeches are far too humble.

A clear example of 'credential inflation'. Now every European can add 'Nobel Prize Winner' to their CV.

I fixed the original post to be more specific.

On the plus side, you are off the hook for an acceptance speech.
