If Only the News Told the Truth About Prescription Drugs Like Robin Williams Does in This Video
Robin Williams was always known more for his outrageous antics than his commentary on issues surrounding topics like health and politics, but like most comedians who speak without a filter, he has the ability to absolutely nail it whenever he does. Case in point: the following rant he went on in about prescription drugs and the absurd side effects that come with them. Dozens of comics have offered their own take on drug company side effects but the bit he pulls off at the end is something completely unique, something that is genuinely Robin Williams (like pretty much every he prod... read more

Russia’s Invasion Signifies The End Of An Era Of Unipolar American Power
If you are like me, you have been glued to the news about the Russian military operation in Ukraine and its implications for the world. Obviously, we cannot know about all of these implications at this point, and we may not for some time to come. Indeed, this recalls to mind Nixon’s query to Zhou Enlai in 1972 about his thoughts on the French Revolution. Zhou, with his long-term view of the world, responded simply, “too soon to say.” However, we are seeing some developments emerge very quickly which may tell us where all of this is heading.

The General Exon Quotes are Accurate and I can Prove it
About once a decade, someone challenges the information and the reporting of what Brigadier General Arthur Exon said to Don Schmitt and me in 1990.

In Pflock’s book, *Roswell: Inconvenient Facts and the Will to Believe*, he mentions Exon only briefly in two places.
