Are flu shots the answer?

Dear BC,
That depends on the question. Are you old?
Infirm? An infant? Then heavens yes.
Otherwise and in my opinion, let your body
do its own thing. (Of course, I'm not a medical doctor so
don't sue me!)

Dear Dr. Jones,
First the Red Sox, then the White Sox. Are the Cubs next?

Dear BF,
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not
the only one. After these last two Octobers, I'm convinced
anything can happen.
So sure. What the heck. Why not? Cubs in
'06 it is.

Dear Dr. Jones,
Rove, Plame, Miller, Libby, Cheney, Frist, Fitzgerald.
What does it all mean?

Dear Baffled,
It means that the bad guys won because they
cheated and now the chickens are coming home to roost.
These last several weeks can't help but remind
me of the tired old saying: "Power corrupts and absolute
power corrupts absolutely."
Add to that a bunch of people who aren't
particularly smart and not very good at their jobs and you'll
find the world in a serious mess.
Only one thing's for sure: We're not done
examining the prez-o-dent's rush to war.
Usually I like to offer solutions. Here,
however, short of an unlikely impeachment, even I'm not sure
what to suggest. I can't see much other than to ride it out
for three more years, say "never again," then find
somebody who's actually qualified. And who might that be?
Hillary? McCain? Giuliani? Obama? Oprah? Chris Rock? Al Frankin?
Who knows?
Let's just hope somebody comes forward
and makes the choice seem obvious. America needs an image
makeover along with serious solutions in health care, poverty,
disaster preparedness, budget deficit and so much more ...
I mean, who was the last great president?
George Bush Sr.? (I think not.) Reagan? (Yeah, right.) JFK?
(Gone too soon.) Wild Bill Clinton? (The poster boy for wasted
potential.) Has there even been a close to great one in the
last 50 years?
With the entire world increasingly connected
to what goes on in the White House, we're long overdue for
a real leader. Long overdue.

Dear Dr. Jones,
I heard that Sulu is gay. Doesn't that change everything?

Confused
Dear Confused,
The only thing it changes is that you never
know who's coming out next.
