Prescient warning from David Duchovny's great late-night movie, "Evolution"

Dr. Allison Reed: Uh-huh. So, in your opinion, your firing had nothing to do with an experimental anthrax vaccine that you developed and administered to nearly 140,000 U.S. soldiers in May of that year?

Ira Kane: It may have been a factor, you'd have to ask the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Dr. Allison Reed: I'll make a note to do that. But for now, can you tell me what happened to the soldiers who were inoculated with your vaccine?

Ira Kane: Well, uh, none of them got anthrax, if that's what you're asking.

Dr. Allison Reed: What did they get?

Ira Kane: Um, well, as with any new vaccine, there were certain side effects associated with it.

Dr. Allison Reed: Could you be more specific?

Ira Kane: Well, it was a wide range of things, it's very technical, I'd hate to waste the court's time getting into it right now.

Dr. Allison Reed: Humor me.

Ira Kane: Some debilitating stomach cramps... severe diarrhea... memory loss.

Dr. Allison Reed: Yes? Go on. Any more symptoms?

Ira Kane: Partial facial paralysis, temporary blindness, drooling, bleeding gums, erectile dysfunction, uncontrollable flatulence. I think that's it.

Dr. Allison Reed: One more question. Do you happen to remember what the soldiers called this illness, Doctor Kane?

Ira Kane: Yeah. They called it "The Kane Madness."

Ha-ha!! I subscribed for a whole year, so I'm not even paying 25 cents/day. Keep dancing though.

(I think you're doing a great job even though you probably did want Hillary to win.)

I started Kevin Can f$?! Himself after you mentioned it, and unlike you I will see it through to the last episode. Yes the husband doesn’t deserve to die because his wife hates being married to him. I’ve always wondered why someone wants to kill their partner instead of just leaving the relationship.

IMO you are doing a great job of writing this column everyday. You still have me laughing out loud. Keep up the good work.
