SELF-DECEPTION Any student of psychopathology will be aware that self-deception is a very common human frailty. So it is not particularly surprising when I and many others like me constantly point to inconvenient facts (such as the large influence of heredity) that Leftists ignore. Ignoring facts is very widespread generally, not only among Leftists....

The definition of a great day for hard-line Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is when he can announce to his countrymen and the world that Iran has successfully enriched uranium for the first time. That day has come and Ahmadinejad is strutting around the country like a banty rooster, crowing out the good news. When he made...

As much as I try and be original, I made a point in the radio spot to be aired this Friday (April 14) that I’m going to use to set up this column. I wrote (read)… “I’m going to sneak into your house. Once I’m inside, I’m going to find a place to hang...

“We are not criminals,†was constantly intoned at rallies around the country Monday. That’s nonsense. People who break the law to enter the United States are by definition criminals. Even if, as at the Washington rally televised on C-SPAN, venerated legislators such as Senator Teddy Kennedy say they aren’t. Notable was the Massachusetts solon...

I have a few points to make regarding the recent brouhahha over lethal injection as a form of execution. First, why must a prisoner’s execution be completely pleasant?

The Social Security Administration’s disability program is losing billions of dollars a year because they are overpaying certain recipients, and paying disability payments to people who really don’t qualify for them. Meanwhile, I have patients who truly are disabled, and he get rejected by Social Security. Obviously, things need to change in that program....

A while back, I wrote a book called “Because that’s the way God decided to do it!” True, it’s one of the world’s better kept secrets, but there have been a few reviews written. There are a couple at Amazon, where it is for sale, but this one is my favorite. The review was...

When the story broke about the Men’s lacrosse team at Duke University raping a black stripper, it reminded me of the many legendary false child abuse cases of the 1970’s and 1980’s. The story did not ring true to begin with. Rapists sneak around and do things as anonymously as possible. They plan their...
