The Envelope, Please

This week's Henry Waldo Award For Literary Excellence does not go to Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia al-McKinney. During congressional Bush-bashing testimony, she was heard to say: "And the world saw the effects of American-style racism in the drama as it was outplayed by the Katrina survivors."

Maybe Georgia will get lucky and she'll get outvoted (agian!) next year. One can only hope.
