Congratulations to Reason Assistant Editor Kerry Howley, winner of the 2005-2006 Felix Morley journalism competition.

The award page has a link to some of Howley's articles - her Reason archive is here.

(Tip of the hat to John Tabin, who says it was "an honor just to be dominated.")

    Congratulations, Kerry, on being the best writer (and also the one who is not funny looking).

  2. Ken Shultz   20 years ago

    Congrats!

  3. Sandy   20 years ago

    Congratulations, Kerry. So is your inner furry Felix the Cat? 😉

    Have a cup of unfair trade coffee to celebrate.

  4. Brian Courts   20 years ago

    Yes, congrats Kerry!

    Have a cup of unfair trade coffee to celebrate.

    Heh. Might I suggest a pint of Arrogant Bastard Ale instead - my treat! 😉

  5. Dan Alban   20 years ago

    I don't think John Coleman is that funny looking.

    I agree with John Tabin's assessment - I thought Kerry was going to win as soon as I saw her name among the finalists. Congrats Kerry!

  6. Derek Ashworth   20 years ago

    Dangit, Sandy stole my thunder! I was going to laud that coffee article, my favorite since I've been reading the dead-trees edition. Great work and, as Neil Young might say, long may you run.

  7. thoreau   20 years ago

    Congratulations! Well deserved!

  8. Erik   20 years ago

    Yeah Kerry! *clink* for virtual champagne.

  9. Stevo Darkly   20 years ago

    Congratulations!

  10. Les   20 years ago

    Ditto, Kerry. Your articles are always educational and enjoyable.

  11. Dogzilla   20 years ago

    $2500, that's big money for a starving Reason editor.

  12. Jim Henley   20 years ago

    I believe it was her guest-blogging stint at Unqualified Offerings that gave her the edge on that Fak kid.

  13. Viking Moose   20 years ago

    WOO HOO!

    congratulations and best wishes for continued success!

    yeaaaaaaaaaa

  14. joe   20 years ago

    With those three Mongolians on the panel, Kerry "Asia Times" Howley was a shoo-in.

    Congrats.

  15. Kerry Howley   20 years ago

    Thanks guys!

  16. smacky   20 years ago

    Late to the party, but... congratulations!
