lol you’re citing the section of Wikipedia that everyone’s consulted to point out that you were wrong to say “peace” was standard criteria, but that “idealism” is. You misspoke and I hope you feel deplorable about it.

yes his voice sucks, but the “poetry set to music” hit some amazing heights. is all of it right-minded? no. it’s easy to criticize the low-hanging fruit of “just like a woman”. i’d like to hear some fresh ideas instead.

Meh. Appreciation for art and literature is supremely subjective. I’m a woman, most definitely a feminist, and I adore Dylan. But of course he has his detractors, he always has. However your objections seem based on ideology, which has no role in the prize. This isn’t the Peace Nobel.  

Sure, but outside of dismissing anyone who brings up his stuff that are about “social change” as “Falling for his shtick” you’re just saying you don’t like him. Alright, don’t like him. But he wrote about social shit.

I’m really just grateful to him for putting The Band together. He’s not really my thing either.

I absolutely love Sally Kohn, and wish Jez would cover every single appearance she makes with a trump talking head. She’s a goddamn treasure.

I apparently hate myself so I did read it, and was really disturbed by the fact that part of their reasoning was that Hillary is harmful to women because she has defended rapists. As an attorney, I find this to be very dangerous thinking. It is funny how the same people who obsess over the 2nd amendment somehow forget…

Then I definitely think you’re applying an unfair standard. How the fuck are you measuring social change? What is Blowing in the Wind about? Or Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door? Or Desolation Row? Or The Times They Are A Changin’? Or the Hurricane?

It is. Although, I’m hoping that the massive Clinton turnout in the cities outweighs the Trump support in Appalachian Ohio and the river valleys. People do like to back a winner, and at the moment, Trump has bounced off the ropes and is falling towards the mat. Best get voters out there while the scandal is still…

I think Hillary is up by 9 points in OH.

“ Smart money says that this election will be locked up even before election day rolls around.”

I see it. Read my response again, if we’re playing this game. It’s nearly impossible to make a case for most recipients as diehard “idealists” more than Dylan is.

Are you confusing the Nobel Prize for Literature with the Nobel Peace Prize? Peace (as subject matter) has nothing to do with the selection process...there’s a wonky bit about “idealism” as criteria but that’s been disregarded in recent years. And I think there’s a case to make for Dylan’s idealism: He certainly…

He won the Nobel Prize in Literature, so whether his songs are about peace or not is irrelevant.

Were you asleep for the 13 days between the first and second debates or just black out drunk? Donald Trump, his son and his surrogates started bringing up Bill’s sexual misconduct on the night of the first debate after it was clear that they had lost, and kept bringing it up on cable news, the Sunday shows, and…

I honestly think he never gave a second thought to any of this before now, because he never considered that there was a possibility that these women might not have liked it before now.

There are also coconuts (brown folks who act white) and bananas (Asians who act white).

Another woman came forward, a former writer for People:

The most shocking part of this story is that Obama’s favorite cookie is the Oreo. For me, the cookie is permanently associated with that day in middle school when I learned that being black is apparently somehow negated by things like being really into Star Trek and not being able to speak AAVE. Granted, Obama is way…

Ok, so for everyone not biracial you may not know this but oreo is actually a thing that some ignorant people have called biracial individuals. Growing up in the south I was called oreo, chocolate milkshake and weird shit like cracker- n***er. The cupcake being called Mr. President could irritate folks sensitive…
