Anon:  Yr comment obnoxious here, sir, since you do not yourself have confidence enough in your own words even to use a single name.  Cheap-shot it is, on story commending accomplishments far beyond what you can show, since no national prizes are ever awarded to "anonymous" !!

another example who owns television and all organizations associated with it.

Congratulations Ken! Super fun to see your talents recognized, and we look forward to (more) red carpets in your future!
