Heartache: ‘Female Viagra’ Fails

No little blue pills for you, ladies:  The drug didn’t boost women’s desire any more than a placebo in two clinical trials. . .  [t]he FDA staff who reviewed the results said the so-called response rate isn’t “particularly compelling.” In a statement posted on the FDA website, manufacturer Boehringer Ingelheim maintains that flibanserin really works, […]

FL-24: Cronyism Has Consequences

Last week, Dan Riehl uncovered a worrisome situation in a Florida GOP primary. With multiple candidates seeking the Republican nomination to take on powerful Democratic incumbent Rep.

Reminds Me of an Old Joke

What do you call a thousand lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? A good start!
