   It would be awesome if this thread doesn’t instantly degenerate into the usual list of “Congratulations, [enter first name of winner here]!”

2. Mark_Tatulli

   Why would somebody congratulating the winner bother you, Ted?

3. Zachary Snyder

   @Ted
   Are you say this thread should be reserved only for “booo!” and “[Winner] is a talentless hack”, or are you saying that neither cheers or jeers should be posted here?

   I think either restriction would be ridiculous, just wanted to clarify the ridiculousness… 🙂

   I don’t think it meant no celebratory statements. I’m assuming the request meant we should discuss pros and cons and agreements/disagreements with the decisions, not flood the thread with single-word comments, possibly to people who will never see or read them anyway.

5. Stacy Curtis

   I hope Ted wins so no one will say “Congratulations!” to him.

6. Zachary Snyder

   @August
   Good point, that’s probably what he meant.
   Still, Congrats to all the winners!

7. Zachary Snyder

   @Stacy
   But then he still wins the Pulitzer!
   Maybe that was his plan all along… diabolical!

8. Norm Feuti

   Yeah, it would be much better if the thread degenerated into a print vs web debate.

9. Ted Rall

   What August said: It is dreadfully stupid and pointless and boring to read a string of “Congrats, Bob!” posts.

   No matter who wins, the choice will be controversial. Whether it’s the cartoonist’s politics, drawing style, approach or public persona, there will be meaningful issues to discuss. It would be nice to discuss them for once.

   Stacy: I wouldn’t expect you to congratulate me in the exceedingly unlikely chance that I were to win.

    Let’s just turn it into a game of Hangman then! Who wants to go first?

    Prizes don’t kill people. Nominating processes do.

13. Shane Davis

    Can I congratulate Phil Mickelson?

    Booo!
    He’s is a talent less hack!

14. JP Trostle

    What? No takers? Okay, can I get an “M”? … and as long as I’m typing, give me a K as well

15. JP Trostle

16. Milt Priggee

    CONGRATS Mark!

    A pulitzer always looks good on a staff toonist job application.
