Dr. Flea Unmasked

May 31, 2007Burt Likko

A warning to bloggers everywhere: don’t post things that you’ll be afraid to own later.  A doctor in Massachusetts learned that lesson the hard way.

Return to the Cold War

May 31, 2007Burt Likko

This sounds depressingly familiar. The U.S. moves its ballistic missile defense program forward, Russia responds with angry rhetoric and technological innovations of its own. It’s an expensive, nerve-wracking display of gamesmanship between the two most powerful militaries on the planet.… Continue Reading →

May 31, 2007Burt Likko 4 Comments

During one of the early Republican Presidential debates, Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas raised his hand when the panel was asked “Who here does not believe in evolution”? Today in the New York Times, Senator Brownback attempts to explain himself.… Continue Reading →

Women

May 31, 2007Burt Likko 3 Comments

May 30, 2007Burt Likko 3 Comments

So an older woman and her adult son walk in to the office today. They want a lawyer. They haven’t called to make an appointment or anything like that; these are walk-ins. They want help with a wide variety of… Continue Reading →

TV Gone Bad

May 30, 2007Burt Likko 1 Comment

The BBC has a list of horrifically bad reality TV show pitches, only some of which were nixed before they were ever broadcast.  It’s good to know that there are limits.  Astonishingly slack limits, true, but limits nonetheless.  It’s really… Continue Reading →
