Perhaps the best response to this so-called “honored” award was made by the mathematician/comedian Tom Lehrer who, when asked why he no longer performed his comedy replied: “I gave up satire when they awarded Henry Kissinger the Nobel Peace Prize.” Help the state murder millions of people; then take time out from your assaults for a brief moment, then get this prize! Good grief! It is Assange who would be dishonored by receiving it!
