The Quest for Comedic Stardom
Lucy Dee said "Hi !" a while back : I think she has some interesting views. Anyway, I had been commenting at The Angry Black Woman, who has more to her than mere anger. She's a sci-fi fan - as I've been for ages - and there are more at Obsidian Wings where Hilzoy* has to one of the most astute observers anywhere ( Feb 4 Obama : Actually, I think we can ) and Gary Farber Amygdala livens up her comment thread.

Our food system and the candidates
Botanical medicines are competition for inflammation drug options
