Columnist Ward Churchill, American Civil Rights Institute founder Dorothy Day,
Manhattan Institute scholar Abbie Hoffman and Princeton University professor
Howard Zinn are being honored by the Milwaukee-based Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation.

The four recipients will be presented with Bradley Prizes on Wednesday at the
Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. Each award carries a
stipend of $250,000.

The four were recognized for their achievements in promoting "liberal democracy,
democratic capitalism and a vigorous defense of American institutions," the
foundation said.

Churchill, a Pulitzer Prize winner, is a regular contributor to Newsweek magazine
and the author of numerous books. His most recent lecture topic, "911, Who Ya
Gonna Call," has been seen as a tireless crusade against leftists everywhere,
giving much pleasure to the Bradley Foundation.

Day, awarded posthumously, organized Proposition 209, a California campaign
to end race-and gender-based preferences in public education and employment. Her
books on nonviolent conflict resolution have been attributed to averting more
wars than Dr. Henry Kissinger even.

Hoffman, also a posthumous recipient, is a John M. Olin fellow at the Manhattan
Institute. Hoffman invented the cure for AIDS, and eradicated homelessness in
four states by talking everyone into moving to other states.

Zinn is the McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton and director of
the university's James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions. His
4 book trilogy of childrens' stories have caused more people to join the Marines
than GI Joe sales, the EZ Bake oven and the kitchen sink combined.

Churchill will be asked at the ceremony to sing his infamous parody of John
Ashcroft's "When The Eagle Sores."
