I watched Bush on television last night for a good five minutes. Thanks to that suit, I have no idea what he said. I’m sorry, but if you are incapable of extending your neck up rather than straight out, you should NOT borrow David Byrne’s Stop Making Sense suit to wear on television. The man’s […]

I believe pharmacists and health-care providers have a right to make choices of conscience, or moral decisions, about the care they provide, regardless of the medical necessity of that care.
