By Paul Murano – August, 2011 The Obama administration said last month that health insurance plans must cover birth control as preventive care for women, with no co-pays. This is huge.

By: Jeff Katz – August, 2011 They tried to make her go to rehab, but she said no, no, no. It looks like she should have said yes, yes, yes. Amy Winehouse has become the latest member of the so-called 27 Club, singers who died at the age of twenty seven. The late Miss […]

By: Dr. Charles Ormsby – June-2011 I am not prone to conspiracy theories. I think Oswald assassinated President Kennedy without the active participation of Castro, the Soviet Union, Lyndon Johnson, the John Birch Society, the FBI, the CIA or the mob.
