To recap: Kitty and Sarah got into a big fight. This happened because angry protesters heckled Kitty during one of her U.S. Senate campaign speeches, thanks to the sticky immigration status of Luc (Gilles Marini), Sarah’s swarthy French fling-turned-boyfriend. Oh, and because as a petit garçon, Luc lived in his uncle’s brothel. Oops. Later, Kitty and Sarah behaved like spoiled brats (as usual), refusing to apologize to one another while slinging back glasses of ...

I’m inspired today on two fronts at the moment: first, by a Twitter message from Gilles Frydman (who goes by KosherFrog on Twitter), Founder of the Association of Cancer Online Resources (ACOR), which says, “Tell me & I'll forget. Show me & I may remember. Involve me & I'll understand.” A Chinese proverb, Gilles asks in Twitter shorthand, “could this be the motto for Participatory Medicine?” I’m also enthused about the new book by Robert Samuelson, The Great Inflation and Its Aftermath: The Past and Future of Affluence. Samuelson, who writes about economics for Newsweek and the Washington Post, sees the new fiscal era we’ve entered is one of “affluent de...

And when they do, the markers have little relationship to actual article quality to begin with: A new study published in the journal Cancer recently confirmed what Josh Seidman of the Center for Information Therapy has also written about: the display of the source and date on a page is not correlated with the presence of high-quality information. The absence of those two markers is also not correlated with low-quality information. The one marker for inaccuracy found in the Cancer study was the presence of information about complementary and alternative medicine or CAM. CAM pa...
