    From Wikipedia:


    The nomination and selection process

    Each year there are 100 to 250 nominees for each prize. Although anyone can be nominated, not everyone can nominate someone for a Nobel Prize. For example the website of the Nobel Foundation says that in the case of the peace prize the following people may nominate:

    * Members of national assemblies and governments of states
    * Members of international courts
    * University rectors
    * Professors of social sciences, history, philosophy, law and theology
    * Directors of peace research institutes and foreign policy institutes
    * Persons who have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
    * Board members of organisations who have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
    * Active and former members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee
    * Former advisers appointed by the Norwegian Nobel Institute

    Similar requirements are in place for the other prizes. However, unlike many other awards, the Nobel Prize nominees are never publicly announced, and they are not supposed to be told that they were ever considered for the prize. These records are sealed for 50 years to avoid turning the awarding of the prize into a popularity contest.


    What surprises me is that no one is supposed to know that you've been nominated. In other words, someone nominated dirtbag, then publicized the nomination in violation of the rules, and used the ensuing media circus to promote dirtbag's cause.

    While on the subject of tookies, why is it that the only people I've ever heard of with the nickname "tookie" have been felons? Tookie Amirault, a noted child sex offender in Mass, and Tookie williams?

    Hmmmm,

    That's the way the Tookie crumbles???

    LOLOLOL,

    I can see the NPP committee getting an envelope addressed to them in crayon.....You'd have to announce something like that right off the bat....it's too funny to keep a secret.

    Seriously,

    How was the story treated across the ponds???

    It's a long story. He didn't live down the street! But one of his last crimes happened in Sun Valley, a town a few miles down the way.

    The night before his capture I was on a date. We walked into my apartment and flipped on the TV, the announcer started in about the PD releasing his name......Ramirez, then they gave out his aliases.....Richard this, that and then my name......

    I looked at my date, changed the channel and got the same thing.
    My date looked at me and left. I spent the night on the couch waiting for SWAT to crash thru the door....I was laying there with my Lhasa Apso..the PD wouldn't kill a dog lover, would they?

    Nothing happened, so I went to the door to get my Los Angeles Times and there on the right hand column just above the fold is Ramirez' pic and my name among the other 3 he used as an alias.

    I have since been seen in the "letters to the editor" pages and do not feel any desire to be front page news anymore!

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
    Together we stand
    Divided we fall.

    I laugh, therefore? I am.
