As is our habit every Tuesday. Here is this week’s PSA. They’re standing on the corner and they can’t speak English. I can’t even talk the way these people talk: Why you ain’t, Where you is, What he drive, Where he stay, Where he work, Who you be… And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. And …
I Hate Monday
What do I hate today? Waiting. Even if I have something good to read (which is always), it’s still not cool to be asked to be on time for an appointment (at a doctor’s office, for example), and in fact, arrive slightly early, only to wait. And wait. And then wait some more. (Personally, I leave after exactly one hour. …
GRAND OPENING!
Today is Day One of something new at the Internet’s Most Salubrious Blog, a feature that will appear on Sunday mornings. It’s a new church, in fact. The Church of the Infinite Chasm. All hail! The focus of the church is pretty narrow. It’s going to be all about thinking on just one subject: evolution. This belief is widely accepted …

The latest Hump Day Hiatus
Literally. Normally this hits the world wide web around midday. But since you’re probably at home instead of in your favorite cubicle, pop the corn, grab the kids, and settle back for a great cartoon that will take you out of the big city and down to the farm for a few relaxing minutes. Go ahead and enjoy it in …
Today’s PSA
FOOD FIGHT: I saw this video yesterday, then woke up today to news of a shooting near the Kroc Center. As this amazing video would put it, burgers are killin’ more brothers than bullets. But bullets get the headlines. This is such a significant issue, illuminated by this video very creatively. It just gets better and better as it rolls …
It’s like April Fool’s every day!
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the major advertisers in Augusta’s healthcare market for their support of the Medical Examiner. These are organizations – University Health System, GRU-slash-MCG, Doctors Hospital, Trinity Hospital and others – with HUGE advertising budgets. They’re in the Chronicle almost daily, in Augusta Magazine and Columbia County Magazine, in the Metro Spirit, Augusta Family, …
I Hate Monday
Don’t you hate practical jokers? Especially when you’re the victim?
Saturday Night at the Movies
Here’s a short but eye-opening look at accuracy in food labeling. I think you’re about to be surprised (probably not pleasantly).
