blogs save mankind
"Pho’s oasis is his Web log (www.kevinmd.com/blog), a place to express his opinions, clarify his thinking, or argue a side in any number of debates on current medical topics.
It is also part of a small, but growing, trend: medical blogs where doctors or other health care professionals vent their frustrations, summarize key points in new studies, or correct distortions that find their way into the popular media."

always odd to see a name that is too familiar to go unnoticed. one of this weblogs proprietors lived on my floor one year in college. my only recollection of him is that he won a trip to jamaica on mtv's first gameshow, Remote Control -- think oversized chairs, college sweatshirts and Van Halen videos. the only reason i remember this, at all, is that i, too, was selected to be on the show, but was unable to because i had a final exam on the day they wanted me to be in new york for the taping. that i didnt think to ask if other days were available is surely one of my lesser failures of imagination. i can at least take solace in the knowledge that ive avoided years of acknowledging that i had actually met colin quinn. but sadly i cant deny that this cd was worn out while this had yet to breach the perimeters of my perceptions.

And if I can put in a plug for my day job, I just want to point out that this is one of the reasons deconstruction caught on among us literary types 25-30 years ago-- because the relationships among "originals," "imitations," and "parodies" really are this damn complicated.

"The voting public long ago lost most of its faith in Bush; to reinforce that loss of faith it is necessary to tell a story about the Bush presidency, one that rings true, makes sense, and gives people an explanation for their personal and economic anxiety. The basic premise of that story must involve a failure of leadership, and that failure is a story of incompetence."

"If House Speaker Dennis Hastert is really concerned about drug profits being laundered into the U.S. political process, he would not be sliming billionaire financier George Soros with that suspicion. Hastert would be looking at a principal conservative funder: South Korean theocrat Sun Myung Moon."

"ABC Australia - Legend has it that European Gypsies came from Egypt but a new genetic study has shown they came from a small population that emerged from ancestors in India around 1000 years ago."
