Nobel Prizes Now So Devalued, Even Insane People Win Them

I figured it was bad enough they give them away like candy when stooges like Al Gore and Jimmy Carter win them.

But now they're giving them out to people who should be in a sanitarium.
Paul Krugman, a professor at Princeton University and an Op-Ed columnist for The New York Times, was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Science on Monday.

“It’s been an extremely weird day, but weird in a positive way,” Mr. Krugman said in an interview on his way to a meeting for the Group of Thirty, an international body from the public and private sectors that discusses international economics.
