Donald Trump: The “I” of any storm

By Paul | Published August 30, 2017

Dave Pell nails it at NextDraft: President Trump doesn’t get to be graded on a curve. The Texas visit was a complete failure. No mention of the victims. No empathy for the survivors.

Pediatrician: Vaccinate Your Kids—Or Get Out of My Office

By Paul | Published November 25, 2014

Russell Saunders, a pediatrician in New England, writing at The Daily Beast: Declining vaccines is, at best, misguided. But of course those inclined to refuse them don’t agree with me, and I’m not going to try to change their minds. I’ve had too many of that kind of conversation over the years to hold out […]
