Old, Bold and Ready to Roll

Doris Lessing wins the Nobel Prize for Literature and reveals to the world why it is so great to be an old lady:
You can say whatever you want.

See, when you're younger, you're still worried about getting laid, staying employed and being admired by strangers. But when you're old, it's like, WTF. What do I care if my grandkids think I'm boring or salespeople hear me fart?

Age equals freedom. Maybe not from diapers or bed restraints, but at least from insecurity.

So let us all hail 88-year-old Doris Lessing, who has sent the world into a tailspin by calling Americans "naive" and then, yikes, taking on 9/11.

So much for the peace in the prize.
