  1. Charles Savage on the signing statements was the most important story of the year.

  3. Agreed, slappy. Reading that journalism the past year was very rewarding.

    Not counting books here. Anyway, Klibanoff began that book with his old Inquirer boss long before arriving in Atlanta.

    Ryan Sonner turned down a Pulitzer... he wanted to spread the wealth

    Once again, sports shut out completely.
    We barely exists in the eyes of these clowns, even though if it weren't for us few of them would be able to sell 15 newspapers.

    I doubt there's any disrespect intended. If we did a story that warranted it - the Minnesota academic scandal of a few years ago comes to mind - we'd be honored. But it's tough to argue our stuff stacks up to what you see win Pulitzers. I mean, the feature writers and explanatory winners spend months at a time with their subjects. The investigative winners change life for thousands.

    We're not being slighted.

    Oh, and we don't drive readership.

    Since a paper can only enter three times, sports generally doesn't come first in the minds of the EE's and such who drive the entries. And we're not bound to fork money out of our own pocket to enter onm our own...

    I surely hope you don't believe that.
    We not only drive it, we're the bus.
    Next time you're in an airport and see a paper sitting around, try to rifle through it for the sports section. Nine out of 10 times, everything else from the paper will be there and the sports will be gone.
