The Two Whos Blog: A Few Good Women and a Few Good Men

From the two whos: There is a love and hate relationship for the opposite sex. Just look at the blogs of single women and single men!

Cece and her friends are talking about swearing off men, thinking men are distracting to say the least. Yun is thinking men should be p… Continue

CRISIS: Open Letter to Barack Obama about Genetically Modified Foods

Dear President Obama:

I am writing because of all the issues facing us, the dangers of genetically modified (GM) foods threatens to eclipse ALL our other concerns. If we’re all sick or dying from ingesting GM foods, nothing else will matter.

At first, scientific evidence against GM foods was slim and/or suppressed, which helped establish our initial unconcern for the iss

It is not hard to understand the present health care problem.

For many practices, it takes weeks to get in. Why? Because there are just too many patients assigned to a physician. Many of my patients are surprised to hear that I have a panel of 2,500. Why does a physician have that many patients? Because they were assigned to

Fred Eaglesmith

Last night I had the thrill of going to The Coop with my bro who won tickets here on DCF. With no idea of what to expect, I googled Fred & realized it was going to be an interesting, fun night.

Not that that's a bad thing. I liked it. It said to me that Fred was no fool. Fred was a "brand" befo… Continue
