American Healthcare
I had some moles removed from my back last week and as a precaution the doctor sent them in “for biopsy”. A pathologist checks them out under a microscope then reports back. I got a phone call today from one of the receptionists at the clinic. She says, “The results…
More flaws in the mainstream media.
David Paterson will soon be the first blind chief of state in the entire United States. Will he also be the first African American New York Governor? Yes. Which one is more important? I hope most of you say that these are, at least, equally important achievements. In our post…
Nothing less than our country’s future is at stake.
Oh Em Gee! A media outlet that shows us some context and history! I didn’t realize it was even possible. PLEASE, PLEASE. I beg you, as fellow American Citizens, please watch this episode of Democracy NOW! to hear the back story of the United States in Iran and the Middle…
