The Pulitzer awards reflect discontent (of course with President Bush)

It may take me a lifetime to fully recover from my St Louis Post Dispatch brainwashing.

That's quite a seat she's got there.

I hear you!

Rinse daily with heavy dose of Free Republic. If brain does not immediately respond, repeat cycle.

How about MSMWOES a keyword.

If we restricted it to financial woes, circulation woes and stock market woes, it would be a great key word.

Sounds great to me. Between the four of us we can probably get her done right. At any rate I promise to do my part. :)

Regarding keywords - they certainly add a useful orthogonality to FR. FR review also provides a useful index. Unfortunately FR RSS overwhelms me with too many new threads popping up every minute - hundreds of new threads during the course of a day. My proclivity for forming political opinion within the context of FR demands better search options. FWIW FReepers who use Firefox may find Rollyo's search bar useful.

Thanks, I will put in MSMWOES as a key word into the appropriate threads as I work through them and future ones.

I don't know much about RSS. Fortunately my older son and one of my nephews, who know how much I use FR and a few other sites warned me to never "plug it in". So I just ignore the red/orange RSS icon when pops up.

What chairs?

[Grampa Dave]

Hard to the Port side or to the left for the land lubbers.

Luckovich won the Pulitzer for this. It's the same question I asked when I heard it had won an award...

[george76]

What other sites do you like ?

[george76]

You could start a MSMWOES ping list ?

[Grampa Dave]

The other sites have nothing to do with politics. :)

LOL..................... there was too much makeup.

I think she looks much better undolled-up! Most good girls do.

Media whores awarding awards to other media whores is a completely insignificant event. It's like the DNC awarding a best Democrat award.

[beyond the sea]

LOL ....... and thanks!

Howard Hughes (Jane Russell) would have liked that picture of dear Katherine.

"Media whores awarding awards to other media whores is a completely insignificant event. It's like the DNC awarding a best Democrat award."

That is an excellent summary of the zero impact of these awards.

Dave,
Ain't capitalism great?!

[Grampa Dave]

"Dave,
Ain't capitalism great?!"

Yes it is, and that is why the liberals hate capitalism with every breath.

I thought they reflected an overall lack of readership. Has any of the media outlets represented by these stellar individuals improved their market share over the course of the year?

[Grampa Dave]

"Has any of the media outlets represented by these stellar individuals improved their market share over the course of the year?"

I don't believe that any of them have increased their market shares.

Recall that the Nobel Committee was forthright in saying that awarding a Nobel to Carter was intended to be a kick in the shins to GW. These prizes mean about as much as used toilet paper.
