While I was in Rome, Mona Charen was awarded the 12th annual Eric Breindel Award for Excellence in Journalism. I can’t say enough about Mona and her excellence. She’s more often than not covering the under-the-radar topics that strike at the heart of our society. She’s a voice for freedom and truth, with a particular talent for holding the Left accountable for their actions and ideas (if you haven’t read her books, you want to), and her recognition is well deserved. Congratulations, Mona!

Here, by the way, is her latest.
