The igNobel prize industry in this fallen world

For Obummer to get a Nobel, that is the kind of thing that finally, literally makes you pinch and remind yourself that you're not in some kind of horrible, degrading, endless bad dream. But there is more to the story, and this article scratches the surface fairly well:

The Dark Side Of The Nobel Prizes

For some strange reason, both the Nobel And Pulitzer Prizes are acting as if hijact off to the extreme left. Why should this be? Did anybody get up and announce "The Prize committee will now take a communist, satanist, PC stand on everything"? Somewhere out there there's a reason why these entities are being so shoved. Everything get's shoved ever further leftward. Why is it if it's not a conspiracy?

"I see a trend forming" -- the words my eighth-grade science teacher casually gave as what you say when some kind of meaningful discovery is damning on you. Things left to themselves tend toward chaos, not order. For everything that happens, there's a reason for it and a moving force behind it. What force do you see in this picture?

Henry Link knew..... and on rare occasions would publicly finger the culprits in question.

DO you at least find this over-arching pattern odd? Why to the left, when there are three other perfectly good directions? Can't be the law of averages.
