Shambo was called to the White House, so please enjoy this classic LMSTAT! He’ll be back tomorrow. Let me say this about that. I am constantly amazed by the volume of prescription drug ads we are bombarded with every day. It appears that we Americans have become victims of a variety of diseases, […]
Let me say this about that. When I first decided to do this blog, my friends advised me to ‘write about things you know’. Sounded like good advise to me, so I pondered a few days on numerous subjects upon which I fancied myself an expert. Engineering, mathematics and logistics were certainly a possibility as I […]
Let me say this about that. America is wallpapered in warning labels. A guy from another planet could beam-down to Earth and be forgiven if he believed that doing anything on this planet could be hazardous to one’s health. The really silly part of this ‘lawyer-propagated’ blemish on our culture is that we are ‘warned’ […]
Let me say this about that. Just as with any other profession, out there somewhere is the world’s worst doctor. Now, with most professions, being the worst is merely an annoyance.

Let me say this about that. Getting old is much more complex than just sitting in your La-Z-Boy and awaiting the passage of time.

Let me say this about that. In my post on July 19 entitled “Pharmaceutical Ads” , I suggested that pharmaceutical companies were making up new diseases just to sell their drugs. Since that post, I have been inundated with rebuttals by my loyal readership claiming that I have not done sufficient research into the subject. To prove their point, […]
Let me say this about that. Most Americans are pretty finicky about what they eat. Basically, we’re “meat & potatoes” oriented and sneer at anything exotic on our plate. Asian cuisine, however, is much more varied. When I lived in Asia, I was served such delicacies as cow ankle, camel hump, cat tongue, python skin (for […]
Let me say this about that. I am constantly amazed by the volume of prescription drug ads we are bombarded with every day. It appears that we Americans have become victims of a variety of diseases, conditions, and syndromes that most of us never heard of a few years ago. A favorite ruse by the pharmaceutical […]
Let me say this about that. In the U.S., we have a growing list of problems that were unheard of, even just a few decades ago. We used to solve our problems with the self-reliant, take charge, good work ethic, and character of our forefathers. But those days are long gone. For example, we hear a lot […]
