Post Takes Four Pulitzers

Last year they got none. This year, four.

Hot off the wires we've gotten word that our own Washington Post can add four more Pulitzers to its trophy case, taking the prestigious prizes for Investigative Reporting on the Jack Abramoff scandal, Explanatory Reporting on U.S. attempts to bring democracy to Yemen, Beat Reporting for breaking the story on the CIA's secret prisons and Criticism for its sharp-witted takes on fashion and culture.

We're both excited for the Post and somewhat proud of ourselves -- we called two of these awards in December. We totally should have put money on this.

Our congratulations go out to the winners -- Susan Schmidt, James V. Grimaldi, R. Jeffrey Smith, David Finkel, Dana Priest and Robin Givhan.
