Nicely chosen
Instead of one of the bloviating demagogues (plus, you know, people who aren't Bono and Bob Geldof) that people expected to get the Nobel Peace Prize this year they gave it to Muhammad Yunus, the founder of the Grameen Bank. It's not flashy (he started it in 1976 with $27 of his own money), but it's an organization that does genuine good in the world, and I've been a big fan ever since researching it a bit for a paper in my first year.
