    OTMichael J. Fox is hosting a one hour show tonight on ABC at 22:00 EDT (10 pm eastern). The show is titled “The Quest for Hope” (or something similar) and is about medical research that helps people like him. Lance Armstrong will be interviewed.This looks like something to see. I wonder if Lush can find more things to ridicule.

    Carl, you’re right bro, but Dick is actively seeking a backup copy of this rare publication, since all the pages are mysteriously stuck together in his copy
