Singer-songwriter John Mayer did an interview with Playboy magazine recently that he may have wished he didn’t do: “My d–k is sort of like a white supremacist,” Mayer went on. “I’ve got a Benetton heart and a f—in David Duke cock. I’m going to start dating separately from my d–k.” Oh my.

Murtha the Victim of Medical Malpractice
Now, our doctors in this country are well trained and heroic. But they also make mistakes. Indeed, if a doctor at the BETHESDA NAVAL STATION can make a mistake DURING A SURGERY ON A PREEMIMENT CONGRESSMAN, what are the chances that doctors across the land make mistakes of this magnitude every day on regular people like you and me?
