Define "young".

Solitudinarian,

That was my thought too. How about "young at heart?" :)

You're old, Dr. J fan.

Twba,

Heh. :)

The cash prizes are nice, but a better reward would be a job at someplace other than the podunk weekly shitrag.

"Young" in this case is 25 years old. Or a full-time student. Check out the details link for, well, details.

Damn. I guess I'm old. I'll just excuse myself to buy a medicare sled car and some pants that reach my armpits.

...communicates an appreciation of classical liberal principles.

Is there one with a prize for communicating an appreciation of objectivity or neutrality principles?

writers whose work best demonstrates and communicates an appreciation of classical liberal principles.

Define "work." Do posts on H&R count? ;)

IW-I'm fairly sure they're not referring to hard news stories.

IHS sounds kinda sinister. Too many institutes to keep track of. How do we know which are the good guys and which are the bad guys. All I know is I'm going to the barber and he better trim my nose hairs as well as my ear hairs (OK, fur) or no 25 cent tip for him.

Hey, there's no cent symbol on this key board!

25¢ You big tipper!

Thanks for posting the link the day before the deadline, Nick!

Oh well, better late than never, I suppose.
Cheers.
