I hear that Michael Moore is rounding up his nitty boys to ward off any appointment of CNN's Sanjay Gupta as Surgeon General . For a long time I did not know whether the Surgeon General was like Betty Crocker or a real life person. I did finally get my head straight on that.

But, if that is the way we are going to do it, although Sanjay Gupta ... Read Full Story

When we had television, Dr. Gupta can do no wrong in our household. In times of world trouble or challenge, a clogged sink for example, my wife and I would jokingly turn towards each other and say, "What would Dr. Sanjay Gupta do?" Why? Dr. Gupta seems to know how to investigate problems and bring an understanding, albeit health-related issues only. But it would be fun to consider how Dr. Gupta would be on the scene reporting about the source of our plumbing problem and solutions. Through CNN's webpage , I learned that Dr. Gupta is promoting a series where he is challenging five ... Read Full Story

ANOTHER GLOP OF CURRY INTO OBAMA’S ADMINISTRATION STEW Just the man we need with a “bully pulpit.” Sixth in a series examining the Obama Administration’s personnel. (Jan. 12, Rockville, MD) To further increase the diversity of his already adequately diversified Administration, Barak Obama’s transition Team has leaked the word that the president-elect might name CNN “journalist’ Dr. Sanjay Gupta as the next Surgeon general. While there is no dispute regarding Dr. Gupta’s intelligence, skills as a Neurosurgeon and Professor at Emory University , this choice is dubious nonetheless. Gupta has no Public Health experience in the sense it applies to the post of US ... Read Full Story
