A Fate That Narcissists Will Hate: Being Ignored New York Times By CHARLES ZANOR November 29, 2010 Narcissists, much to the surprise of many experts, are in the process of becoming an endangered species. Not that they face imminent extinction — it’s a fate much worse than that. They will still be around, but they […]
Gingrich: I’m ‘more inclined to run’ in 2012 Washington Post By Matt DeLong December 5, 2010 During an appearance on "Fox News Sunday," former House speaker Newt Gingrich [R-GA] said that he is "much more inclined to run" for president in 2012 than not run. Gingrich has been hinting for months that he may seek […]
CASPPER, GlaxoSmithKline’s Friendly Ghostwriting Program Wall Street Journal By Jacob Goldstein August 20, 2009 Drug makers have been taking heat for a while now over ghostwritten articles in medical journals. Basically, there have been instances where drug companies went out and found doctors willing to put their names on articles that the company paid someone […]
And I naively thought the benign scenario might explain things [“scrutinized”…]. Wrong again. I guess when dealing with the likes of Nemeroff and GSK, taking the high road usually turns out to be a mistake. Danny Carlat actually read the book and here’s what he found: Nemeroff and Schatzberg’s “Textbook” Pushed Paxil Carlat Psychiatry blog […]
McCain, others say military gays study is biased The Associated Press By ANNE FLAHERTY December 3, 2010 WASHINGTON — A doubting John McCain led Republican opposition Thursday to letting gays serve openly in the military, sternly clashing with the Pentagon’s top leaders and warning that troops would quit in droves if Congress repealed the "don’t […]
I guess a blogger who writes an obscure blog doesn’t have to apologize for getting stuck on a topic. I read the response from Dr. Nemeroff to the accusations of ghost-writing, and I felt the urge to write. He has that effect on me. UM prof accused of submitting ghostwritten textbook Miami Herald BY JOHN […]

[15] What I find so funny is that Governments have no problems looking over our shoulders, listening to our phones, … but when it is done to them they squeal like a stuck pig. [8] […]
I read these stories about "Don’t ask, Don’t tell" [DADT] with more conflict than I would’ve anticipated. Of course, I personally think it ought to be repealed – actually, that it should have never been enacted in the first place. But my conflict dates back to the days of the Civil Rights Movement. Ending Segregation […]
For every roach you see, there are a hundred behind the walls. Yesterday’s article in the New York Times [Drug Maker Wrote Book Under 2 Doctors’ Names, Documents Say] was about Dr. Charles Nemeroff, a person of specific interest to me, so I jumped on the Nemeroff aspect of the story [a “quintessential resource”…], but […]
With the release today of the Report of the Comprehensive Review of the Issues Associated with a Repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”, DADT is in its last throes. In fact, the anti-Homosexual rhetoric seems to have simply faded recently. It occurred to me that I’ve not heard from the anti-Homosexual Religious Right [specifically James […]
