Hello again. I had been hoping to continue my peaceful existence, far from the
news cycle. But I have heard my name invoked and I simply must set the record
straight. I would not rest well knowing that people thought I was implicated in
the episode that recently came to light involving Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s
disposal of a dead bear cub. That was all my host. I, the brain worm that died
inside his skull in 2010, had no part in it.
