Someone just made the fantastic suggestion that I submit Save Firefly to This American Life. Ira Glass is a Whedon fan. Everything I write I read aloud, and if it doesn't work when i read it, I revise.

I have a pretty okay voice.

Does this sound overly insane and presumptuous? My agent says to of course go for it, but I'm not sure if I'm being crazy. Is this crazy?

Doesn't sound crazy to me, Allyson.

Why not go for it? What can it hurt?

no - it is not crazy . go for it Allyson!

I'd say go for it, Allyson. Worst case, he says no. Best case, hundreds of thousands of people go, "Who is this Allyson, and where can we buy many, many copies of her work?"

Kay Bailey Hutchison Last Sunday:

I certainly hope that if there is going to be an indictment . . . that it is an indictment on a crime and not some perjury technicality where they couldn't indict on the crime and so they go to something just to show that their two years of investigation was not a waste of time and taxpayer dollars.

Kay Bailey Hutchison in 1999:

What would we be telling Americans--and those worldwide who see in America what they can only hope for in their own countries--if the Senate of the United States were to conclude: The President lied under oath as an element of a scheme to obstruct the due process of law, but we chose to look the other way?

I cannot make that choice. I cannot look away. I vote "Guilty" on Article I, Perjury. I vote "Guilty" on Article II, Obstruction of Justice.

Go for it. The worst they can do is say no, and they can't say yes unless you ask.

Allyson, you should. Not at all insane or presumptuous.

Go for it Allyson.

It sounds like a great idea to me, Allyson.
