In case you’re interested, the Pulitzer Prize announcements will be made today at 3:00pm EST. Winners will be posted on the Pulitzer website at 3:15pm EST.

Pay attention to the Commentary award. As I wrote in December:

If there is justice in journalism, there will be no debate whatsover over the next winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Commentary:

The indefatigable Claudia Rosett.

Maybe the MSM will get it right. We can hope.
