| Harold Pinter Wins Nobel Prize in Literature |
| 2005-10-13 |
| Relevant to WoT because of Pinter's anti-war "poetry". He won the Prize for his plays, however. I hope. EFL. Harold Pinter, the British playwright, said today that his longstanding political activism may have played a role in the decision to award him the 2005 Nobel Prize for Literature. His face cut and bruised after a recent fall and carrying a cane for support, Pinter added: "I think the world has had enough of my plays by now. But I think I shall certainly be writing more poetry and certainly remain deeply engaged in the question of political structures in this world." Read the whole thing. Laugh lines galore. Here is Pinter's official site, which contains Pinter's famous 2003 poem, "God Bless America", featuring the deathless lines Your eyes have gone out and your nose/Sniffs only the pong of the dead... Good news for satirists the world over. |

| #9 This from the same people who awarded the Peace Prize to Arafat. They're more discredited than the Grammys. |

| #8 TW - I just made the mistake of reading some of Pinter's poetry - my weak little parody does not even begin to approach the toxic effluvia that flows from that moonbat's pen. |

| #4 Well, look on the bright side. At least, the Nobel for "literature" has gone to someone we have at least heard of, this year. We may not have heard much good... but at least we have heard of him...unlike the deservedly obscure Austrian raving loon from last year. And those are not "scare" quotemarks... they are "viciously skeptical" quotemarks. |

| #1 He said America deserved 911 The Nobel socialist circle jerk has taken every chance it could find to insult the US and its people. The Halliburton Earthquake machine should focus on them for a few days. |
