Awards
By About he best I can say about this award is that winning it might be slightly more prestigious than emerging victorious from a mayonnaise-eating contest.
Perusing the list of some of the finalists, we find the soaring literary contributions of Norman Podhoretz, Michael Ledeen, Hugh Hewitt, Melanie Phillips, and Amity Schlaes — all of whom were unfairly overlooked by the National Book Critics Circle and Pulitzer committees, who seem averse to the disgorgements of noted hacks.
