I’m a big fan of “Futurama,” particularly of the character Prof. Hubert Farnsworth, whose catch phrase “good news everyone” is often used to set the stage for the Planet Express crew’s next death-defying adventure.

To my endless amusement,  I opened my email yesterday to find an email from Democratic Senate candidate Tim Kaine’s campaign titled “good news.” I could hear the professor’s voice in my head, and immediately wondered whether this email missive would be asking Virginians to saddle-up for a mission to harvest honey from giant space bees.
