Thank Yoo
I wanted to say thanks to Philadelphia Magazine for naming me "Best Columnist" in its new annual "Best of Philly" issue, recognizing me over a field that includes Rick Santorum, John Yoo....and a host of actual hard-working, butt-kicking journalists who were much, much more deserving. I plan to keep trying to win every year until they finally send me an invitation to their party for victors -- I guess they like my work more than they like me, not unheard of. :-)
Ironically, the recognition seems to be mainly for my work on John Yoo -- frankly I'd gladly give the award (if it ever arrives) back in return for no longer seeing the work of the Constitution-shredding, torture-enabling lawyer published here at 400 N. Broad. (More on him in a second.) I'm also wondering if this means I should now ask my bosses about, you know, actually becoming a columnist.
Ironically, the magazine has a good article about one of those real and more deserving columnists.
Usually when someone gets an award, they thank people they love. Not Will, he gets an award and tells us who who he hates.— jmc
"I'm also wondering if this means I should now ask my bosses about, you know, actually becoming a columnist." Why not? It would be a logical continuation of your movement away from factual reporting.— db_cooper- Great likeness of you on the cover, Will!— RickB

Philadelphia's Best "Columnist" isn't a columnist????? Maybe all we need to know about the quality of our local print media.— bird11- Congrats Will! This has got to drive a lot of your detractors crazy! (which is great!) Just wondering... can you play middle infield? You already got the beard and I'm almost certain you'd be better than Bruntlett.— James TL

- Hard to beleive Will finished ahead of Fatima (I hate whitey) Ali, Monica (Rant) Kinney and Karen (mass hysteria) Heller. Giants all.— jimmymack
- Congrats, well deserved indeed. Cue the wingnut idiots who somehow hate this blog and yet spend every waking moment here.— seanfromnj
- bill, free speech is only an obligation for the government. A newspaper has no obligation to publish the stark raving mad ramblings of a right-wing torture apologist.— seanfromnj

Congratulations--deserved for sure.
