Purple Pill Redux (or is that multiplied?)

No Gravatar

Remember when I wrote about the deadly purple pill?  Where I warned you that it often led to kidney failure?  I mentioned also that affects (negatively) bone density and probably causes gut infections.   Well, that last fact is becoming extremely obvious.

Selma- from the mouths of babes

No Gravatar

So, last week, I described my reactions to our synagogue’s trip to Selma, Montgomery, Birmingham, and Atlanta.  I told you that we went with about 100 folks ranging in age from 5 to 90.  And, we were joined by students from George Washington University and from Birmingham.

I am continuing my recollections of the jam-packed Martin Luther King weekend.  This is the third and final component that details the impressions from our trip to Selma, Montgomery, Birmingham, and Atlanta.  Monday, I provided background and our Montgomery meanderings.  Yesterday, we spoke about our first 15 hours or so in Selma.

For two decades, my go-to November events were the American Society for Nephrology conference and ComDex, the computer expo.   As Comdex began to wither, I occasionally visited my most hated city (Las Vegas) in January for the Consumer Electronics Show, which let me keep up with the changes in the technology industry.   But, to be honest, the CES focus was on different things than what attracted my (or my clients’) interests- and it was still in Las Vegas.

The Honor Code (NOT!)

No Gravatar

So, by now you know that in the dead of night (and on a Federal holiday to boot), the Republican Congressfolks tried to eliminate the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE).   (This all happened on 2 January 2017.) The Representatives wanted you to believe that they were not removing the need for or the ability to effect ethics oversight, that they would accomplish the same goals with different means.  But, we all know that’s a load of manure.
