>Nice. Pulitzer was supposed to be about journalism, IIRC? Now these really are nice examples of today's investigative reporting. That's what we always wanted to know about. Who cares about any damn wars, creative accounting, election rigging and other mundane and overly stuff.

That should have been "overly boring stuff". Maybe we have a candidate theme for the next prize here? "Words we don't forget to omit".

>I assume next year we'll hear about "vanity plates spelling", "bumper sticker grammar by region", "Gone with old wind - items you can't find in the grocery anymore".
