WASHINGTON – The White House has hired actor Kal Penn as a liaison between President Barack Obama's administration and Asian constituents.

Or is this a ploy to make it easier for the "Chosen One" to order takeout?;)

Yeah, I was watching "House" on the DVR today and they killed off his character rather abruptly. Like my immediate reaction was "WHAT THE ****???" Dude just offs himself. No foreshadowing. Nothing.

I have it DVR'd. I guess Yahoo News doesn't have a spoiler feature.

No worries, I read it in the Yahoo article before I got to your post.

Heh, I just noticed that you changed your previous post. I wasn't thinking that no one would ever consider reading through a thread without reading the links first. If they did, they would be commenting on things that they didn't fully understand. I was under the impression that all posters made their comments with a complete understanding of the topic ;)

What message is Fox sending here, other than "working for Obama makes you want to kill yourself?"

Tee hee @ Fox :D

I was reading an article online talking about the millions of hits fox.com/kutner received after that episode went off...made it pretty realistic :D

with the fake newspaper article for his obituary with comments from Lisa Cuddy..made me (and apparently millions of others) wonder if Penn had actually died and that was how they decided to write him off of the show...
