Ex-Governor Eliot Spitzer must have had a pretty big ego to think he could hire prostitutes and not get caught. Hello! But then again, it seems most powerful people get a swollen head and feel untouchable-until they get a swollen lip when they get caught. Perhaps if the head did visibly swell up, it […]

Weight lifting used to be a passion of mine. As a “petite” Asian man, I used to be very self-conscious about my size. In elementary school, I was always chosen last to join a team in physical education. Even Gigi, a four-pound girl, was chosen before me (okay, I made that part up, but it […]

Jessica Simpson– you either love her or hate her. I think she’s okay– but come on! You and I both know she knows what “Chicken of the Sea” is. On her reality show, she was so dumb-dumb pretending she didn’t know it was tuna fish. She and Nick, her ex-hubbie (by the way, I think […]

Where do myths and misconceptions come from? Some people swear that eating white raisins soaked in gin relieves arthritis pains. (Gin should be a card game, not a drink. Yuck!) Some people tie a dirty sock around their necks to fight off colds. (My luck, I would get athletes foot on my neck.)

Some people faint at the sight of blood, which I don’t quite understand because we all bleed– some more than others (especially drama queens). Remember the Saturday Night Live skit* on Julia Child?
It’s amazing any of us are alive. I’m studying for my 10-year re-certification for the internal medicine boards. I reviewed the blood […]

Jan Egeland, the United Nations undersecretary for humanitarian affairs says, “Natural disasters affect at least seven times more people than conflicts.” I don’t know if that is statistically valid, but look around the world. Right now, Louisiana and Mississippi are in trouble. Big trouble.

Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck had some great adventures.
