Credit Where It's Due

Congratulations to the Pic for winning two Pulitzer Prizes--Public Service (with the Biloxi Sun Herald) and Breaking News (well, there's certainly a sad irony to the description).

Until last fall, I'd not been a big fan of the Pic, particularly given the ultra-conservative opinion/editorial positions. Post-Katrina, however, the paper has consistently demonstrated the value of good journalism to a community, especially a community so horribly affected by the flood (and storm).

And hey--it looks like Thelonious Monk received a special mention:

for a body of distinguished and innovative musical composition that has had a significant and enduring impact on the evolution of jazz.

Can't complain about that...
