ut this is 2016. Critics are questioning why the Nobel judges couldn’t find a single woman across the planet worthy of being honored in any of the six prize categories.

How dare anyone judge by merit instead of by diversity quotas.

Women should stand up and cheer. Who wants to be part of that sorry line up? Hey, our Terrorist in Chief got the Peace Prize for gosh sake.

If there is a woman, or man, who can write words, “Poetry for the ear”,as the Academy’s secretary said, like Dylan, I would like to know, because I would like to read them.

But are homosexuals being sufficiently represented in the lineup ? Such an esteemed body must not reek of homophobia.

I nominate the DumpCake Lady.

The Nobel committee doesn’t have binders full of women to chose from. But I’m surprised Frau Merkel didn’t get the peace prize for her diversification of Germany.
