OH NOES, TEEVEE DOCTOR WON’T WORK FOR OBAMA: Whatever happened with what’s-his-name, the CNN doctor character Sanjay Gupta, who was maybe going to join the Obama Administration as Ceremonial Doctor, in January? HE IS NOT DOING IT, THAT’S WHAT (because John Conyers said he couldn...

I hear that Michael Moore is rounding up his nitty boys to ward off any appointment of CNN's Sanjay Gupta as Surgeon General. For a long time I did not know whether the Surgeon General was like Betty Crocker or a real life person. I did finally get my head straight on that. Now after learning they a...

On World News Saturday, during the show’s "A Closer Look" segment, ABC anchor David Muir gave attention to those who question whether CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta has sufficient qualifications to be Barack Obama’s surgeon general. Muir even played a clip of David Letterman poking fun at Gu...

Item 1: The host of MSNBC’s Hardball, Chris Matthews, has decided not to join the race for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania. In doing so he has resisted a groundswell of support from hard-of-hearing misogynists throughout the state. Some reports suggested that Matthews was only floating the cam...

Personally, I'm skeptical of this appointment, but I'm willing to be convinced. It's more a matter of priorities than anything else. Obama is looking fo...

Not too long ago, several of the area bloggers I read with regularity began fervently promoting the idea that pineapple juice was some sort of magical cure all that could fix anything that ails you. Not naming any names, but they all seemed to be lady bloggers, with an eye on their ladybusiness. Now...

CNN medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta, whom President-elect Barack Obama has reportedly asked to take an administration post as Surgeon General and top health policy adviser, last year thought it noteworthy that the release of John McCain's medical records ignored the Senator's “mental health...

I'm sorry, but I am disliking Pres.-Elect Obama's choices to fill the last high-profile positions in his administration. Case in point: Sanjay Gupta is cute as hell, but I stopped liking  him when I started listening to his reports and realized how pro-corporate he is. Then he went a g...
