They've Really Outdone Themselves

OK - so the Nobel Prize Committee completely lost credibility with my generation over a decade ago, and had in fact already done so for the previous generation 20 years before that. And, well, to be fair, it was never very easy to take it seriously.

But something about Captain Planet winning it this year makes the annual Smorgasbord International Celebrity Bureaucrat Award funny all over again. I was going to write a witty, scathing satire peace piece - really I was! - but fortunately Jesse Walker beat me to the punch, and I can spend my valuable gradschool time reading ... oh ... about Linguistics ... or something. Click on the link and check it out! (Reason also has a serious piece on the same subject.)
