Insanity

We've all heard many times that Albert Einstein said: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity.

He did not say that. And that is not the definition of insanity. I explain here.

A Brief Timeline of World History

WHT World History Timeline

English Monarchy Timeline

Most Americans couldn't care less about the English monarchs of old. Anglophiles, including Brits, probably already know this by heart. For all the rest of you, who have waited with bated breath for me to publish this, here you go.

Murdered by Medics

This is the astonishing story of America's polio epidemic and how doctors responded to it. While some medical professionals and scientists distinguished themselves, others disgraced themselves, killing and crippling millions of Americans. Doctors did manage to cure polio, but they caused the cancer epidemic in the process, and probably the AIDS epidemic as w...

Our American Schizophrenia

Americans revere Abraham Lincoln. Yet the truth about the man and his war portrays the ugliest chapter in American history. We would despise any foreign leader who  behaved as AL did.

Our American Schizophrenia

Jimmy Madison Sausage

Most people these days seem to be experiencing considerable angst and anguish over the congressional slugfest/standoff in Washington. Allow me to present a contrarian view.

Why can’t we all just get along? Why can’t both parties work together and get things done without all the partisan rancor? Well, we could have t...

VA Incompetence and Malpractice

For the past 8.5 years, VA doctors have been prescribing a certain medication. Now they have decided they will no longer prescribe it because of its life-threatening side effects.

At no time during those 8.5 years did doctors ever hint at life-threatening side effects. Not once. So, what's really going on?...

Not So Fast

So many of our popular apothegms are totally wrong. For example, this gem: "Don't assume, it makes an ass of you and me." No, it makes an ass of anyone who repeats it as though he/she just uttered some richly profound original insight. The fact is, nobody would ever get any work done if we didn't make myriad assumptions every day. Heck, we'd n...

So They Say

Which is more dangerous: fanaticism or atheism? Fanaticism is certainly a thousand times more deadly; for atheism inspires no bloody passion whereas fanaticism does; atheism is opposed to crime, and fanaticism causes crimes to be committed.

Dear Mexicans,

Instead of struggling to get to the US and staying here illegally, why don't you Mexicans channel that energy into cleaning up your own damn country? What the hell is wrong with Mexico? Whatever it is, deal with it. Then you won't need to come here. Then you won’t want to come here.

We don't see C...

We Can Still Be Friends, Can't We?

America is restless and on the move. Lots of conservative-leaning Americans are moving away from Blue-State America. The mass exodus of businesses and conservative-minded Americans from California is probably the best example. But others aren’t willing to leave. They love their state, but...

 Don't Look for Love

Are you looking for love? Stop. You aren’t likely to find love when you’re looking for it. The more desperate you are to find it, the more certain it is that you won’t. Why?

For one thing, when you’re looking for love you’re likely to lunge at th...
