The London Times gets it...

Sadly, it seems they have so bedazzled the Norwegians that they
can no longer separate hopes from achievement. The achievements of all
previous winners have been diminished.

And the last sentence says it all.

And you can expect no comments from the usual suspects...

It's a damn shame. Here Don proudly posts an article about the
accomplishments of some folks up his way - enough to earn a Nobel
prize. A couple days later this fiasco occurs, giving the medal all
the prestige of a golf ball marker.

Damn shame.

John, does this now mean that If can actually type an exceptional
sentence with perfect spelling. I could be up for a Pulitzer?

I do believe that's possible. Just try to type the sentence *after*
you're awarded the prize. That'll put you on the same type pedestal as
our hero, the big O.

Note the past tense in this: ""...and one part to the person who shall
have done the most or the best work..."

As 'Bama had done nothing prior to his selection, all rules are off
the table as far as selections go.

So, how are you going to spend your prize money? New boat?

Hey, you can't get a prize for just a sentence. You need to be an
apologist, euro-socialist, pansy...
