I declare my support for AFAJP, Americans for Fairness in Awarding Journalism Prizes, and their campaign to win a Pulitzer for The Onion. This video joins the ranks of those by such luminaries as Tom Hanks, Ira Glass, Paul Reiser, and the President of Georgia.

So, tonight was our second read-through/meeting about A Candid World, a Revolutionary War-era play by Dawn Brodey for the Lights Up! series at the Illusion Theatre.
