Nope. Even the Liberal New York Times says that Canadian drugs are not the answer. It may make political sense to point to Canada as a solution to high prescription drug prices in the United States. But many economists and health care experts say that importing drugs from countries that control their prices would do […]

Someone sent me an email, wondering why I was using the name “William Teach.” She got the reference to Blackbeard the Pirate, but, as she informed me, his name was Edward Teach. Well, couple things. 1st, I did want it to be a little cryptic. While many may recognize the name Edward Teach as Blackbeard, […]

Fortune wants to know which Presidential candidate is the best for the tech industry, supposedly. Why supposedly?

God help me, I have to root for the Redskins to beat the Packers on Halloween: Claim: The outcome of Washington Redskins football games has correctly predicted the winner of every U.S. presidential election since 1936. Status: True. Example: [Collected on the Internet, 2004] FOOTBALL + ELECTION Did you know….?? The Washington Redskins have proved […]

Nice editorial at the Denver Post regarding Jake the Snake honoring Pat Tillman. Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer is in hot water for doing the right thing, or at least for doing a very good thing. For honoring his fallen friend Pat Tillman by wearing a small logo on his helmet, he faces up to $30,000 […]

In retrospection, Gay and Lesbian Rights are covered, at least somewhat, in the Declaration of Independence. “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” It is not in the Constitution, nor is anything on marriage itself. Unless you want to consider the 10th Amendment: The powers not delegated by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to […]
