the envelope, please...

Longtime Carnival-goer Jonathan Versen aka Hugo Zoom has been nominated for a Koufax Award in the category of Most Humorous Post.

Jon, as returning marks know, is raising funds for IraqDoc 2007, a documentary he plans to film in Iraq next year. Any publicity is swell as long as the scribe gets your name right, so, in that spirit, you might consider making a contribution in the form of a Koufax vote as a means of helping Jon promote the project. Better still, if you have a few bucks to spare in support of independent journalism, you can also contribute directly to IraqDoc 2007 by way of PayPal or credit card via Amazon Honor System -- see sidebar links at Jon's blog, Hugo Zoom.

Oh, and, by the way, he really is a funny guy.
