Really?

Has the talent pool in print media become so depleted that someone like 
Schmich and her usual banal tripe can win one or have they expanded the 
categories of Pulitzer prizes that they practically give them out like 
candy nowadays?

This is a stain upon the reputation of a Pulitzer Prize.

No offense to Mary Schmich however.  Whatever floats your boat and after 
sometimes reading newspaper comment sections it becomes apparent that 
quite a few dingbats read this newspaper and Mary certainly caters to 
that crowd.  

But a Pulitzer Prize?  Really?
