Wonders never cease! And color me flabbergasted. Last night I heard some news report that Mother Sheehan claimed she was a peace prize finalist.

Well, it seems they may have gone some distance toward getting their act together and recognizing and rewarding someone who actually has done something to try and relieve misery in this world. And the winner is... Bangladesh's Muhammad Yunus and the Grameen Bank!
Microloans to try and help people dig their way out of poverty. Whoodathunkit.
