The article about the disease in China is freaking me out.
It's reminding me me of V.I.T.A.S in Shadowrun.

I REALLY want to see Kushner's new play.

Bryant, I saw Kushner's play in Minneapolis. It was a work in progress at the time. I found it very interesting, but terribly long.

Hume isn't really taken seriously by anyone is he? He got his feelings hurt when Brian Williams got Brokaw's job on NBC Nightly News and so he went to Fox - boy he showed them - WIlliams is TV's 1st rated anchor and Hume is, well ... on Fox. Sounds about right to me!

Hangover 2 looks pretty funny. No bad gay jokes in trailer. I loved the first one too.
Great laughs!
