Talk about stories that make you do a double take.
The Post-Star's editorial page editor Mark Mahoney was named this year's winner of the Pulitzer Prize for "excellence in editorial writing."
Bear in mind, this is not some state or regional award but rather The Big One.
It's no secret that I've never been a big fan of his editorial style in general, though his editorials on open government and freedom of information are usually quite good. It would be churlish of me to withhold congratulations to him.
Mahoney is the only person from a small town paper to win a Pulitzer this year.

Props to Mahoney.
So this then is Tedisco's consolation prize: Endorsed by the Pulitzer Editorialist.
I also congratulate Mark but I congratulate him as someone fully aware that Pulitzer is a fully-owned subsidiary of Lee Enterprises and Lee is the Post-Star's owner. ;-)
How's that for passive/aggressive?
For the sake of fairness, I should mention that it's been stated elsewhere that Pulitzer Inc. (which, like the Post-Star, is owned by Lee) and the Pulitzer Prize Committee actually have no relationship.
