Follow @drewfromtv and #BlameDrewsCancer

Cancer sucks, but Cleveland rocks.

Famed funny man from my old hood Drew Carey is raising awareness and dollars to fight cancer via social media.

The short of it: a guy named Drew Olanoff was diagnosed with cancer and decided to LIVESTRONG.  One thing led to another, he's auctioning off his Twitter handle @drew to the highest bidder, and Drew Carey will pony up a million bucks if an equal number of people follow him on Twitter.

I wonder how Twitter will hand off the followers between accounts, or whether other famous Drews (e.g. Barrymore, Dr. Drew Pinsky) will raise the ante.  Regardless, this is welcome news for cancer tweeps around the world.

Thank goodness for Follow Fridays.  Now go follow Drew Carey!

The cure? Now that is comical

Denis Leary was right after all.  Sort of.

A web comic strip explains in simple ink why there is no single "cure" for cancer, at least not in the traditional sense.  So stop pretending there is one.

And if you don't read comics, then ask a geek.  If anything, you'll better understand what cancer actually is.
