Well, in defense of the Nobel people, they don't do the nominations. There's a list of a few thousand people who are allowed to nominate people, so basically a bunch of wackos make the list of nominees every year.
Which still doesn't do anything to explain Kissinger or Arafat.
* We Just Can't Seem To Get Enough Of This Spanish Bombing Story
Except for your LJ absolutely *no-one* has mentioned the Spain bombings in my f_list. Same things with real life people around me. So see, it all balances out.
It's no New York Times, but it's not minor. In any event, the same story ran on the front of the Post and USA Today, so they're not alone. I'm not just skewering the Express, here. It's kind of general bile spew.
I think you're doing a fine job of balancing angry bile and satire, by the way. If you incorporated "the brains in Spain fall mainly on the plain" into it, however, you could sit next to me on my VIP pointy rock in Hell.
