Americans are soooo stupid.

[Pokerjoe]

We pretty much do this year in, year out. Sooooo stupid of us:

2 of the 3 nobels in chemistry
all 3 in physics
all 3 in medicine
both in econ
the peace prize

We didn't get the literature prize.

But the the Nobel secretary, Horace Engdahl, has admitted to being a bigot. Quoting him: "You can’t get away from the fact that Europe still is the center of the literary world,” Mr. Engdahl said, “not the United States.”
“The U.S. is too isolated, too insular,” he continued. “They don’t translate enough and don’t really participate in the big dialogue of literature.”

Mr. Engdahl has obviously never read this message board

Not winning the lit prize is a good thing

Means your people have better fukkin things to do

Like post and watch football

All of the Nobel Prizes are political pulpits and not real awards anymore. They have lost all meaning.

Peace prize is a joke, just a award for political correctness at its finest. That one you can write off. Litterature is a hippie award. Economics? Don´t know about that any more either...

The other ones is real prices with honest competition! Congrats!

I really hope Kim Jong Il gets the peace price next year.
