Can He Have A Word With You Please?
So, I'd like to know what you think about this experience I recently . . . experienced. Please don’t sugar coat it; just listen to me and then tell it to me straight. After all these years, it had finally come down to this. Nothing more, nothing less. I said to him,...
Are Cell Phones Hazardous To Your Health? The True Skinny Right Here, Right Now!
Have you heard that smartphones can be hazardous to your health? Not only is it a true story, but it turns out that they're three times more deadly to men than women. And the number of deaths is increasing dramatically. Slant drilling, climate change, earthquakes...
Is Free Speech Ever Really . . . “Free”?
This past weekend, on “deadline,” I wrote the latest installment of my twice-a-week blog that was published on Tuesday. In pertinent part, I was complaining about the increasing phenomena of . . . “fake news.” Not only amateurs republishing silly emails, but, worse...
I Cannot Tell A Lie. Can I?
Seems that little fibs lead to big whoppers. Scientists are now reporting that they have the proof. Unless of course . . . they’re stretching things a bit. 🙂 NPR.org reports that researchers from University College London and Duke University asked 80 volunteers to...

If there was any single thing (and there isn't) that caused Hillary to lose the election, it was conflict of interest, apparent if not actual (apparent is enough, but there's no legitimate question about actual). You know what we're talking about: The Clinton...
Tutor-In-Chief
I was talking to one of my health providers the other day. Which one, you ask? I can’t tell you because that would violate my Hippocratic rights to privacy, in spite of the fact that the rights belong to me and I’m willing to waive them. Anyway, my provider suggested...
A Little Respite From All That . . . Anger
I thought we could all use a brief respite from all of the anger going around. But allow me just a few words first. Don’t you just love all those expert pundits and pollsters who had the election all figured out? Until they didn’t! Less than a week later, they’re . ....
