| Romney pins Republican campaign hopes on business experience
I don't see how these two can do anything for the country when they keep bickering with each other. It's not about them, it's about US, it's not about who becomes the first woman president or the first black president, it's about AMERICA. If John Edwards, who is the only person who has a plan for this country, does not get the nomination, i am voting republican, because these two are too immature to lead this country. .
The Many Faces of Big Pharma’s Disease Mongering
Most people blame Big Pharma and the docs in its pocket for elevating everyday anxiety to depression, depression to bipolar disease and childhood behavior problems to major psychiatric diseases. But there are others to thank for the national pathology of creating and treating diseases that aren't even there.

Like Complete Healthcare Communications (CHC) whose phalanx of 40 medical writers, editors and librarians has submitted over 500 manuscripts to journals for clients Pfizer, Sanofi-Aventis, Wyeth, Schering-Plough and AstraZeneca according to its promotional materials, with an acceptance rate of 80 percent.

Phil Sheridan: With the bond of misery now broken, Philly ponders: Why ...
Jimmy, the shuckah at the bah at the Union Oystah House, eyeballed the woman who asked for a glass of water. "Championship watah?" Jimmy said with a glint in his eye. "Drink this, and you'll win a championship." He swiveled toward the visitors from Philadelphia, who were in town for the Eagles' November game against the New England Patriots. "Hey," Jimmy said, "there's something in the watah heah. Everybody wins championships heah." Let's just say the oysters in Boston go down a little easier than the attitude. The day of that game, which A.J. Feeley nearly won and then suddenly lost for the Eagles, my column was about the gap that had grown between two cities with so much in common. Philadelphia and Boston had been joined since Colonial times, and our histories remained oddly similar through a 20th century filled with sporting misery.
