I’m excited to announce that Jasmine Delaney, the excessively clean violin player who has a starring role in A Taste of Murder, is making her Internet debut!

Jesus for President!
Everywhere I go these days people are campaigning for some political candidate or other – Bowers for Mayor, Williams for District Judge, Sutton for City Council.
