Cool, he was also the treasurer of the writer's guild.

I highly doubt this means anything for Futurama, but still it's a nice honor.

It means one thing for Futurama: it had even better writers than we thought it had. And we thought it had some pretty good writers. Congrats to him.

Yay! This is great, we all knew that the Futurama staff was brilliant! ^_^ It always gives me warm fuzzies whenever I see a Futurama writer's name in the credits of a show I'm watching, and I'm glad that Mr. Verrone was elected as the head of the WGA (West? So I'm assuming this means that there's a WGA East?) Hmm. Well, great news indeed!

The guy who wrote the best episode of Futurama ever is now head of a writer's guild? There is justice in the universe!
