Wampum: The 2005 Koufax Awards Finalists: Best Post

Glenn Greenwald. Extremely, extremely well done. The post was important to bring out the original fear of the President's military powers, not the glorying in them which we see today.

BAGnewsNotes/Katrina Aftermath

In an increasingly visual world, and with the explosion of independent and populist media, it is my hope that photojournalists will ultimately achieve the kind of credit, exposure, distribution and compensation they they have so long and sorely deserved. As far as I know, only two of Alan Chin's incredible post-Katrina photos were made available to us through the MSM. These appeared in Newsweek. It is only by virtue of the 'sphere that the entire series is accessible. As a top photojournalist, Alan went to New Orleans on his own nickel. In doing so, he was not even slightly beholden to any media enterprise in taking this well trained and completely unvarnished look at this truly historic American shame. I am honored to be included with this wonderful group of writers, and I congratulate all the finalists. I'm a huge Digby fan, and I admire Berube. But I am voting for a post I had the honor of building with Alan Chin as my best blow against the media filter.

Unless this is nothing more than friends voting for friends,

Is it mandatory to attach insults of the other finalists with one's vote? Because I can't think of a belittling thing to say about any of my colleagues here: each post was damned wonderful. I hope my vote counts despite my failure in that regard.

My vote: PZ Myers. The proper reverence to those who have gone before. Pharyngula. And it was a VERY tough call.

Hunter, Melting the Skin off of Children

Posted by: Frankenoid | March 21, 2006 09:23 PM

I can't believe you are making me choose
between kos and glenn greenwald.

One shows how are are ok with melting the
skin off children, the other shows how we
apparently feel ok with going back before
1776 and having a king again.

I should go with the king thing, because that
will hurt us more in the long run, but for SHEER
EGREGIOUS OUTRAGEOUS BEHAVIOR **NOT IN MY NAME**
it has to be

Kos------burning the skin off children.

May God Almighty forgive us.
