I apologize but this cannot stand!  I am shocked and saddened by today’s news of the 2009 Nobel Prize winners for Chemistry.

Seriously?  Venkatraman Ramakrishnan, Thomas A. Steitz, and Ada E. Yonath?

Somebody please tell me if this is a joke!  Because it’s NOT FUNNY!

The Noble Prize Committee (who have lost an infinity amount of respect from me for this decision) said that the winners were awarded for:

“Studies of one of life’s core processes: The ribosome’s translation of DNA information into life. (I won’t stoop so low as to explain what ribosomes do.)  This year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry awards Venkatraman Ramakrishnan, Thomas A. Steitz, and Ada E. Yonath for having showed what the ribosome looks like and how it functions at the atomic level.  All three have used a method called X-ray crystallography to map the position for each and every one of the hundreds of thousands of atoms that make up the ribosome.”

Unbe-fucking-lievable!  Well, good luck to you all… hacks.  My five-year-old daughter could poke more holes in your research than she currently does to my couch cushions.

I know I normally focus on on TRUTH IN MEDIA (i.e., the cover up of Sarah Palin’s “Going Rogue” ghost-writer Lynn Vincent) – but this announcement today threw me for a loop.

This is the beginning of the end of the Nobel Prizes!
