Frist's Bean & Kudrow's Comeback

Oxygen appears to have reached Bill Frist's brain--read about it at Reuters. I'm not afraid of bombs, or germs, or global warming, or even terrorists. I'm afraid of Alzheimer's disease. God forbid anyone should face the unspeakably grisly mental evaporation of this disease without Pfizer, Merck, Lilly, and Squibb in their arsenal. Start the stem cell research as soon as possible, and allocate BILLION$. Oh wait, Frist's bean isn't newly oxygenated--he's whoring himself to the middle in anticipation of his presidential campaign. Lovely guy. Here's an interesting A.I. dialogue - a conversation between a metal machine and a meat machine.
