I WOKE up this morning and was pleasec to see you are back pushing the pencil. It's great that your health has tuned positive. Hopefully this was a once in a lifetime fickle finger of fate poke, and you will carry on into your 100's as we should. Good points again, Jim. I don't agree with them all, but most of the time we are simpatico. Quick question for you. What is an alternative source for wikipedia that a trusted journalist, such as yourself, would find acceptable to use to get info? See you later?

Thanks, Paul.

The Wikis are crowd-sourced. That means that anybody can fact-check, which means that anybody can contribute. If they have a bunch of people fact-checking, then you have a mish-mash of what is true and what isn't. Very confusing. Plus, they are repetitive and very poorly written.

True, but hopefully the info is peer reviewed, and rewritten correctly? I try to confirm articles the best I can, and I rely on snopes.com a lot also to fact check. But at the end of the day (don’t you love that phrase?) it’ll be all for naught. Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―

Great column my friend. I can’t get enough Mossad and pager explosions!!! Amazing.

I wish you'd stop referring to Ms. Clinton as a queen. She's the prince of fucking darkness, to steal a line from The Verdict.

Get well.
