This weblog is getting hammered by people who are concerned about Katie Holmes, and who are visiting by way of Google, which apparently features my "Free Katie Now" post rather prominently.

I never asked for a leading role in this cause, but it may be thrust upon me. You may have heard rumors about a stealth commando raid to secure her freedom from the Cruise Singularity. This is premature, but all options are on the table, including prayer vigils, a congressional inquiry, and UN sanctions against the Tom regime.
