NPR: Ron Paul Invented Al Gore, the Nobel Prize

Ron Paul Invented Al Gore, the Nobel Prize

Red for the Nobel, orange for Ron Paul, blue for Al Gore

I'm not naming names, but let's just say more than one or two people in the Bryant Park office today are wondering whether Al Gore will be named a Nobel Peace laureate tomorrow—and if he does, whether he'd then run for president.

For them, I've got one word. Or two: Ron Paul. Just check the graphs from Google Trends above and after the bump.
