And this proves what? That the Alaska newspapers didn't have a big web presence in 2001? Do a search for Mayor Palin (no quotes) and you get results.
Rex, you're started to sound like the Boing Boing you said you hated.

I'm going to fall into your little trap.
OMG GUYS Rex's first handful entries contain the following words: Literary, Pulitzer Prize, Sappho, Top 10, Beatles, and NetCams!

Dammit! Why can't you edit comments on this site, YO?

Yeah, there's a lotta weird stuff in there. p.s. I have a Pulitzer. Fuck you to the people who think I talk about myself too much and don't know that. Hah!

I'm trying to imagine the Pulitzer committee judging a web site.
A bunch of gray-haired newspaper people huddled over an intern's Macbook.
"The colors are pretty and the linky-things work when I click on them. What the fuck, let's give him one."

I'm kidding, of course. I'm sure they made the intern print the first page out.
When I sent my TPA submissions I had to print out each entry and paste them individually with a glue stick.

I noticed that, too, but there are hits for Sarah Palin:

Which makes me think the quotes weren't supported in 2001, or something. I dunno.
In any case, yeah, well my mom has a pulitzer too. Seems they'll give 'em to anyone these days.
