CannonReporters at PolitiFact.com have used me as a resource half a dozen times or so when fact-checking something someone said about health care reform. Sometimes we disagree about where the truth lies, but I’ve always been happy to help. That changed recently, and I should let PolitiFact’s reporters know why. At the end of each year, PolitiFact sifts through the many claims its reporters have deemed untrue and selects one to be their Lie of the Year. The Lie of the Year award is easily PolitiFact’s biggest publicity-generator. In 2009, they picked Sarah Palin’s “death panels” claim. In 2010, they picked the claim that the new health care law is a “government takeover” of health care. Looking at those two Lies of the Year together brought a couple of things h...

It was the best computer move I have ever made. I have not had a single computer crash in over eight months. Not one. I am not a computer geek and so, for me, this was great news. BING is from Bill Gates and so I approached it with trepidation. I like it. Maybe I have just become complacent about the general excellence of Google. Maybe I am tired of that same old display. BING seems to do it all better. I spend a lot of time looking for news information, pictures and vidoes on politicians who work in health care. So try the Patricia Hewitt test. (It's all right, don't worry children, she is not coming back). I put "Patrica Hewitt" into BING and then into Google and searched fo...

It was not difficult. My ageing PC was clunk-clicking. It was time for an upgrade. The Apple stores are the acme of modern retailing, full of people enjoying themselves. There must have been about £50k's worth of kit out for people to play on. No "please don't touch" here.  I thought the store was just a front end for the Apple mail order operation, so having chatted with a helpful assistant, and about to leave, I said "A shame you don't actually have them in stock here" Half an hour later, I was lugging a large box to the car. The 24 inch iMac screen is preposterously, extravagantly, beautifully large. I plugged it in and switched it on and less than a...

It all started with Hendrix BBC Sessions and the Catfish Blues. Not that I would expect you to spend $.99 for the song (hey, it's the holidays!), but it's an old song, deep and rich. Certainly others have covered this (even Hendrix!), but this version is live... It's like my bones resonate.Amps & effects are set to sound like Cream (NO! Not cream, but Cream, baby!). Are we on the same page? OK! Now, understand that, at the time, Clapton played a Gibson and not a Stratocaster, so if you're like me and love that "boosted mid-range" and tube-warmth "fuzz" (and just if, perhaps, you're wondering what would make me happy for the holidays: Cli...

I suck at being busy. It is my worst thing and it always ends badly. I am not sure how to not be busy. It is a vicious cycle. As soon as I start feeling better, I want to do things. All the things that I can’t do when I am sick. I want to work. I want to play. Sometimes, I even want to see people. I was sick for so long. First a year of bad meds and then cat scratch fever. I was lucky that the meds thing got straightened out before the CSF, but it is only very recently that I can enjoy it. Suddenly, I find myself feeling great! I still get tired and confused, but that is ok. It is part of how I am. After such a long time of not being able to do things that I wanted to, I feel like it is a race for time to do them now that I am feeling good. I would love to think it wi...
