I recently saw Dr. Jennifer Ashton on FOX delivering what I thought was an unjustified minimalization of the importance of nutrition. I wondered if she had some financial incentive to say what she did, or if she were too busy staring in the mirror to learn more before she opened her mouth and misled the viewers on FOX who might assume that she really knows what she is talking about because she is a doctor. Dr. Ashton is exceptionally attractive, and she evidently wants potential patients to know that, because her web site currently features a slide show with various large pictures of her. I wondered, “Is she a doctor? Or a model?” She's a doctor, alright, but I doubt that she graduated at the top of her class. If she did, why didn't she know the facts that I mentioned in my message to her? (see below) I don't understand how any doc who knew that info could give the report that she did. I would be thrilled if Dr. Ashton were ethical enough to send a resignation letter to FOX in ...

If you're feeling sorry for UAW workers, whose incomes will likely soon plummet, you should read Rivethead: Tales from the Assembly Line, written by Ben Hamper, a former autoworker and the ex-husband of my sister-in-law. That erstwhile best-seller will likely cause your sympathy to quickly evaporate by revealing a pathetic work ethic and an alarming lack of conscientiousness on the part of autoworkers. They dug their own graves by demanding too much from GM, Ford, and Chrysler, and by screwing their employers via a variety of scams and unethical practices that ultimately weakened the automakers. If the UAW brass had any brains — and apparently they do not — they would have had a man-to-man talk with their members years ago, saying something along the lines of: "GM, Ford, and Chrysler aren't the enemy . Instead of endlessly bellyaching about management, you should thank your lucky stars that a person like you, who probably has never been to college and may have ...

Have you heard how politicians talk to real Americans when the camera isn't around? A woman—Karla—called the Mark Levin Show on November 17, 2008 to relate what Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer said to her in LaGuardia Airport when she voiced her opposition to reinstituting the Fairness Doctrine. Like many pieces of legislation, its name is misleading; it should be called the Unfairness Doctrine, because Democrats hope to use it to suppress criticism of them on conservative talk radio programs. Predictably, Democrats are not opposed to free speech when the liberal mainstream media bashes conservatives and Republicans. It's OK for liberals to hang Sarah Palin in effigy, or to talk about raping her, or to suggest that her husband is sleeping with their daughters, or to fabricate countless lies and deliberate distortions. All of that and much more is fine with them, but when a conservative talk radio host lambastes a liberal Democrat . . . heavens no! We can't have any criticism ...

On the November 17, 2008 Hannity & Colmes program, Former Clinton advisor Dick Morris explained to Alan Colmes why Hillary Clinton should not become Secretary of State. DICK MORRIS: Well, it's a terrible idea for a lot of different reasons. The first is the past, which is that Bill Clinton has basically made his living for the last five or seven years running around the world doing favors for major foreign leaders and investors, getting money from them for his foundation, his library, and for his own pocket. And we don't know who they are, we don't know what he did in return for them, and that money goes to the Clinton family. Take a guy like Frank Giustra. He flew with Clinton to see the president of Kazakhstan, one of the most reactionary repressive governments in the world — one our State Department condemns. Clinton then pushed the president to become the head of the organization that oversees elections when he doesn't have any. Giustra who set up the meeting got the ...
