My 86-year-old mom has Alzheimer’s Disease, but I think she could do a better job of managing the nation’s debt crisis than the current crop of elected officials in Washington, D.C. Symptoms of the disease present themselves in many ways with my mom. For instance: She can’t remember my name or the names of my [...]

Providing what blogger Wesley J. Smith describes as “your 24/7 seminar on bioethics and the importance of being human,” the Secondhand Smoke blog covers a wide range of life-and-death topics.
