I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know (if you didn't already) the good news that "Sicko" has been nominated for this year's Academy Award for Best Documentary. It was a pleasant surprise when we got the news on Tuesday.

US newspapers were all abuzz this month when Doris Lessing, most well-known for her novel The Golden Notebook, won the Nobel Prize for Literature. (Lessing also raised eyebrows when in an interview she proclaimed that 9/11 wasn't as bad as Americans thought).

A few days ago the president of Venezuela, Hugo Chαvez, referred to Jesus as the greatest socialist in history. I am not interested here in making a defense or an attack on his person.
