As part of his Prairie Home Companion show this past weekend, Garrison Keillor lampooned a Swedish fellow who apparently has something to do with selecting the prize for literature. He mentioned the lack of notable literature the Swedes had contributed to the field and questioned the man's - or any Swede's - standing to choose the best work.

All in good fun. of course.

But that concerns the prize for literature, for which we BAUTites care nothing.
