Posted on January 10, 2008Let this be one of your New Year's resolutions -- don't drink and drive. After almost 37 years of representing auto accident victims, I have seen far more than my share of the misery drunk driving can cause. Everyone always thinks it won't happen to them, that even though they're a bit tipsy they'll be able to drive all right...

A Bad "Solution" To A Perceived Medical Malpractice Insurance Problem
Posted on January 07, 2008Here's a truly bad idea from the National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA).

Iowa Caucuses Produce A Momentous Event
Posted on January 04, 2008Regardless of your politics, you have to agree that the Iowa Democratic caucuses last night produced a glowing moment in American political (and cultural) history. The fact that Barak Obama defeated two well-qualified presidential candidates in a state that's more than 90% white represents a true breakthrough in this country...
"Shocking" Report About Heart Attacks

Posted on January 02, 2008Here's a strange and troubling tidbit from today's Dallas Morning News. A recent study revealed that emergency room physicians prescribe narcotic painkillers more frequently to white patients than to minority patients. What's especially odd about this fact is that whites are more likely to abuse painkillers than are blacks or Latinos...
