The Tampa Bay Times (formerly the St. Petersburg Times) wins yet another pulitzer (their 9th). This time, for their coverage of the some nutballs taking the fluoride out of the water. This paper and the fishing are the only things I consistently miss about the Bay. In part because of this coverage - those officials were given the boot come election day and replaced with public servants who, surprisingly, pledged to actually serve the public, and put it back in.
(they crucify scientology on a regular basis- those editorials never fail to impress, and politi-fact.com is nice too)

(the awards and nominations, particularly, if anyone likes good editorials)

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
