Looking for some laughs, a drink, and a chance to help a good cause?

Given that I've been too busy today to come up with anything particularly blog-worthy today, I thought I'd take this moment to invite you to the ACLU's Annual Defending Freedom Event. It's Thursday, May 11, and we'll be featuring a slide show from Tom Tomorrow himself. (You'll also have a chance to win a free autographed copy of his new book, Hell in a Handbasket.) We'll also be honoring the legal team from Pepper Hamilton who donated an amazing amount of time and resources to work on the Dover intelligent design case.

Tickets are $100 each and include an open bar and hors d'oeuvres. You can reserve tickets by emailing us at info@aclupa.org. (Sponsorships are also available.) More information is available on our website.

This is one of our favorite Tom Tomorrow cartoons (what can I say, we're a little vain).

If you're in the area, I hope you'll think about attending. We civil libertarians need all the levity we can get these days. (And the company's not too bad, either.)
