One Down, How Many To Go?
Are there 50 primaries? I don’t think I can bear to hear about the candidates that much…and I surely don’t want to hear 6 more debates from either party before we even finish the primary season. That may make me a bad citizen but I sure would like to limit the campaigning to the last 4 months and I’d like to offer all the candidates a certain amount of free tv and radio time on the airwaves that are supposed to be owned by all of us. That’s my soapbox for today for anyone who is interested…and I do understand after last week that a few of you aren’t!

February is not only Valentine’s day but also heart month so that is a good reason for us to talk to so many cardiologists this month!
And there's more where that came from...
