The Land of Milk and Jam? [by Adam Volle]
June 8, 2010 – 12:06 am
I need a new religion.
Or a philosophy – I’d be OK with that, too. I’m not limiting myself to theist solutions. Any and all world views may apply.
My cousin recently wrote on his Facebook page: ”Well, it’s official, college is a wrap. The question now is, are we going to at least try …

we continue to spend more on drugs — in part because of the increasing use of so-called biologic medicines, which cost, on average, 22 times as much as ordinary drugs. In 2008, 28 percent of sales from the pharmaceutical industry’s top 100 products came …
How was I supposed to know I should take a magazine with this cover seriously? [by Adam Volle]
It’s been a pretty big surprise to me that one of the few magazines out there still interested in shedding some real light on how things work today in Washington D.C. is RollingStone. I mean, yeah, they were cool enough to print stuff from P.J. O’Rourke, but those were basically humor columns. Yet …
