Doves and Pigeons
A report currently circulating is that when the Alfred Nobel committee announces D. J. Trump's award of the Nobel Peace Prize, that oldies-format stations the world over will play Ferlin Husky's "Wings of a Dove" (peaked @ no. 3 on the CHUM Chart AND @ no. 12 on Billboard Top 40 in December of 1960.

No word (yet) on the Nobel peace prize status, however the guy with washroom security clearance has suggested that "Bluebirds Over the Mountain" (Cancon by the late, great Ronnie Hawkins) is the bird to watch

Winn Dixie, the grocery chain where we shop in Florida always have a bell at the exit door. If you're happy with your shopping experience you ring the bell on your way out. Last year, one of their stores no longer had a bell. I asked the lady at the checkout what happened to it. "They just got rid of it." she told me.
I said to her "then you get the No Bell Prize" She gave me a look that would crack a window.

Re: Doves and Pigeons
Here's the Reuters news story... and it's pretty clear that he was hoping to use tariffs to extort a Nobel Peace Prize from the government, perhaps not realizing that the government isn't who decides whether one is awarded the prize (because Trump IS that stupid).
Trump told Norwegian minister he wants Nobel Prize, newspaper says
By Reuters
August 14, 2025
OSLO, Aug 14 (Reuters) - When U.S. President Donald Trump called Norway's finance minister last month to discuss tariffs, he also told him he wanted the Nobel Peace Prize, Norwegian business daily Dagens Naeringsliv reported on Thursday.
Several countries including Israel, Pakistan and Cambodia have nominated Trump for brokering peace agreements or ceasefires, and he has said he deserves the Norwegian-bestowed accolade that four White House predecessors received.
"Out of the blue, while Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg was walking down the street in Oslo, Donald Trump called," Dagens Naeringsliv reported, citing unnamed sources.
"He wanted the Nobel Prize - and to discuss tariffs."
(etc)
The Norwegian newspaper said it was not the first time Trump had brought up the prize in conversation with Stoltenberg, a former secretary general of the NATO military alliance.
Try as he might, Trump will never be even a fraction of good of a human being as Obama. And that is his sole reason for even wanting it, because Obama got one.

TomTV, you just nailed it, but Trump doesn’t even try to be a fraction of good of a human being as Obama because he doesn’t know how. I really hope they do not cave to this toolbox.

I like that. Radio "King of the Puns" Active would be proud.
