Know-Nothing Award for May
Since the death one hundred and fifty years ago of the American, or Know-Nothing Party, a large segment of our population has been without adequate representation or recognition. This inequity we hope to correct, at least in part, by means of this monthly award, open to any adult citizen of the U. S. or Canada (except out-sourcees of Third Century Press or members of their immediate families).
To qualify, the recipient must succeed in uttering, during the calendar month preceding publication, a statement of opinion or allegation of fact which, in the opinion of the editors, gives him or her best claim to the motto for which members of the original American Party became so justly famed,viz: "I KNOW NOTHING."
The Winner's Prize goes to Francis Fukuyama.:

have all the rules on human experimentation. If companies were allowed to use
clinical trials in Third World countries, paying a lot of poor people to take
risks that you wouldn't take in a developed country, we could speed up
technology quickly. But because of the Holocaust -- "
Francis Fukuyama, a member of the President's Council on Bioethics and director of the Human Biotechnology Governance Project. " The Source (You will have to scroll down a ways to find the award-winner, although there are some runners-up on the page.)
