Gregg, who wrote that article about the Nobel Prize on the main page? It’s a good article and gets to the heart of it. Nice to see Elmore Leonard’s name on that list, and deservedly so.

“snobbery, political bias, and poor taste,” pretty much sums it up, the Nobel has been very political for a long time, more about agendas than about literature.

Elmore Leonard should have won The National Book Award a long time ago.

What do you expect from a bunch of arms dealers in Sweden? They don’t even have crime in Sweden. A bottle of Maker’s Mark there, if you can get it, runs about $40. Forget about it.
