Norway has draconian laws on hours (and prices) on booze. Our last trip there, our hotel room happened to be overlooking the state liquor (and wine) store. They close their doors on Saturday at 2:00 PM on Saturday until Monday AM. We were in Bergen, so not feasible to drive to Sweden. The weird...

They have on my behalf. OTOH, my dermatologist is pretty much a bulldog also. The reversal was in response to her appeal...

I had an odd one the other day. Dermatologists seem to have more trouble getting drugs cleared than other docs. My dermatologist said it would probably be denied, and it was. The uninsured price was such that I decided to forego it. Then I got a letter a few days later, saying BCBS had relented...

My fear is that he's living in a delusional la-la land. All this talk about shipping their precious uranium to the US, etc. At first, I thought it was just his weird negotiating. Now, I'm getting concerned, particularly with the clowns around him...

Or counting wars he started as "ended." Obvious Nobel PP material in his eyes. I know Norway. I know Norwegians. In fact, I know the language and read what they say about him. The NBB is one fantasy he may as well give up on...

They all knew or should have known that Trump's pardon power does not reach to each state's Bar's authority to discipline its own...

I'm speaking as a protestant, of course, so I obviously have many disagreements with the pope. In fact, I have quite of number of lifelong Catholic friends who have disagreements of opinion with the pope. However, for a newly-minted Catholic to criticize his pope on the grounds that the pope...

Why did it take so long? I remember when it happened and this butcher has been at it for 30 years. I don't think I could make that mistake and I only know my way around the innards of a whitetail deer...

The question which must be asked of a Democratic candidate - can he/she beat Vance, because he will be the nominee. In the end, the result may depend more on the economy than on the nominees...

It won't hurt it in the sense that American companies will sell more oil on the world market. However, it will hurt the American consumer with higher prices because it is, after all, a world market. Our companies must buy the oil they refine from Canada and Mexico primarily, but also from other...

He keeps repeating he won in a landslide and he believes it...
