hmm, aren’t they just finally doing their job? honestly asking!
Peace prize, or Economics?
I’d say literature, because the justices just wrote a ruling. New genre for the Nobel Prize!
But they won’t get it. The prize has never been shared among so many people at once. I believe three is the most, usually for physics, chemistry, or medicine, and literature has never been granted ex aequo, much less ex aequo for six.
Now if they would grant it to Justice Roberts alone, who wrote the ruling, it would have to be for his oeuvre, and that is classic Literture Nobel Prize territory: confabulatio fantastica.
Whereas the peace prize can be awarded to an organization, which
could represent any number of people.
Oh, right, that would be the way out: give the prize to the whole of the SC, like they once gave it to the EU (that was also a good joke, although it did not make the temper tanTrump in the WH as mad as the Obama one) and to the International Committe of the Red Cross (three times!) and Médicines sans Frontières.
But if we stick to the literature prize and we award it to the SC they will have to give it to ChapGPT next.
And let`s be frank: Literature is nice and good, they also gave it to Winston Churchill, but a Nobel Peace Prize? How woke can you get! High time to start conceding the Nobel War Prize, much manlier. For real conquerors who rule supremacist. Let’s start conceding it to Darth Putin and Lord HegSith von DoW.
Oh, and as we are talking about Schadenfreude, friends and enablers let’s let Jonathan Pie take the stage for five glorious minutes while he talks about the Prince formerly known as Andy (his words) and draws a line from him to someone who has been exonerated, or so he loudly claims (spoiler: he has not).
Excellent rant! Oh my god, how much this whole Epstein case makes my stomach turn…
wow, thanks for sharing that link. although I’m sad to hear Liz was part of the cover up, I shouldn’t really be surprised.
I’d never heard of Mr. Pie before, but I like the cut of his jib!
Just listened to it. Actually his words were the other way around: “The Andrew formerly known as Prince.”
Ah, damned! You’re right. Much better Pie’s way, of course.
More non-Trumpian (but Epstein-related) schadenfreude:
Since I can’t really say this in the relevant P&E or IMHO threads, let me say it here:
AHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAA!!!
AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAAHAHAAA!!!
< ahem >
Sorry you had to see that.
My Schadenfreude would be complete if I also saw some conservative heads roll…Especially in America.
Team USA women’s hockey declines Trump’s invite to the State of the Union Address.
The wimmin-hating tweets will commence in five, four, three, two…
The women’s hockey team declined the invite due to a previous engagement.
There will a really good rerun of MASH on that night.
I sincerely wish the men would decline too
Nonsense, sirrah: obviously, that is the night that the US champion women’s hockey players wash their hair.
Hey, that excuse was good enough for their great-grandmothers, it’s good enough for them. 
I was originally going to say that, but thought it would come off a tad sexist. Then I realized, everyone loves MASH. 
(Seriously, it was my first take then I self-edited before submitting.)
No worries, it’s a great comeback that should never die. No reason men can’t use it themselves, either.
(What would the traditionally male midcentury counterpart to “Sorry, I have to wash my hair” be? “Sorry, I have to organize my baseball cards”?)
Maybe, “Sorry, but I need to change the oil in my car.”
