Two weeks from tomorrow, October 10, is when the Nobel Peace Prize winner will be announced, [View all]

and we can be damn sure who it won't be. What will Himself do when the winner turns out to be a person or an organization that has legitimately worked for peace? Maybe Pope Frances? Francesca Abanese, the UN special rapporteur for the West Bank and Gaza? the Committee to Protect Journalists? The OSCE’s Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights & The Carter Center? The Women's International League for Peace and Freedom? The International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court? (https://www.prio.org/nobellist)? The complete list of nominees is confidential; the committee doesn't release it, but there are more than 300. When he doesn't win, will he have a hissy fit on national TV or just post something crazy on Fake Twitter? Will he throw ketchup at the Norwegian Embassy and expel the ambassador? Impose insane tariffs?

Will that be the gasket that finally blows?

Stay tuned.
