What If The GOP Field Became CEOs?
[caption id="attachment_17817" align="alignright" width="170" caption="The cast."][/caption] Did you know who Herman Cain was in 2008? We didn't. We didn't even know what Godfather's Pizza was in 2008. Now everyone knows who Herman Cain is. He's the former CEO of Godfather's Pizza and was very recently making a highly publicized run at the Republican seat for the 2012 presidential election. Former CEO of a pizza joint running for president? Impressive. Well, it's more impressive on paper than it is in person. Despite his experience near pizza ovens, Herman Cain couldn't handle the heat. But there's a trove of GOP hopefuls that seem to debate every 45 ...

[caption id="attachment_5656" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Patriot? Yes. Capable of properly raising a child? Questionable, Ke$ha."][/caption] A herd of fellow sheep and I recently embarked on an intrepid excursion to Dewey Beach, Del. for the Memorial Day weekend festivities.

[caption id="attachment_11327" align="alignright" width="226" caption="The doctor will see you now..."][/caption] The first year of physician residency training is to mental endurance what the Ironman triathlon is to physical endurance. You constantly feel as if you are overwhelmed, futility is evident in the majority of your tasks, and there is always someone ahead of you in the race that is better at what you do than you are. At the end you feel a marginal sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, similar to taking a few jabs from Anderson Silva before being knocked-out in the second round. The more significant residual sensation is ...
Off-Campus Lunch: Not as Innocent as You Think
[caption id="attachment_1011" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Looks delicious, right? This could be making your coworkers hundreds a year."][/caption] I've been a part of my team for two years now, and I thought things were going great. Actually, most of the time they are. Everyone gets along most of the time, we crack jokes and even have the weekly food order at a local restaurant. You know what I'm talking about. The menu gets passed around, everyone writes down what they want, everyone pitches in and, voila, food has arrived. Sometimes it's Chinese, sometimes it's Chipotle, sometimes it's sandwiches. Well, every Wednesday for us is sandwiches. There's ...
