AWARD-WINNING JOURNALISM

Scroll waaaaaaay down at this link and a shocking fact will be revealed—somehow Matt Welch and me have won a journalism prize. Proud victor Matt emails: “If anything beats working for free, it’s getting an award for it that comes without any cash value!” Here’s Matt with the imposing plaque of triumphancy.

  7. Well done, Tim & Matt! - (by the way, I notice that high profile Democrat Ted Kennedy has done another “time to exit the Oldsmobile” speech aimed at Rumsfeld).
    And you are in great company too - those Sveriges (Swedes) must have been a real hoot with their singing yeast cells.
