Well, it is well known among all the well-wishers of the Times of Islamabad that every year there is an award for the "Most Anti-Hindu, Derogatory And Malicious" reporting. This year's sponsor is the the Vatican (this is a rotating sponsorship thing, the No-Left Left Behind Foundation did 2006, the popular whine-band "Godzilla Romillla and the BookaHookas featuring Margaret Roy" did 2005...)
Well, the 2006 MAH-DAM prize was shared by the "Hindu" and CNN; let us see who becomes this year's Mah'dam. Its not all that easy to maintain a Gentlemen's Recreational House these days...
