ADVERTISING'S CHEMICAL IMBALANCE

Is depression really the result of a lack of serotonin, as drug ads claim? Not according to scientists in the field. The recent PLoS Medicine journal documents the misleading claims made in advertisements for Prozac, Celeza, Zoloft and other SSRIs...

FIND OUT WHY NO ONE WILL LEND YOU MONEY

If you haven't yet heard about a new government law requiring the three major credit reporting companies to provide a free credit report to U.S. citizens once a year, well, now you have: AnnualCreditReport.com allows you to get up to three free reports, one each from Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion...

INTELLIGENT DESIGN FILM FROM THE 1950S

The Kansas Board of Education voted to include "intelligent design" in the science curriculum in Kansas schools.

THE NEW PURITANS

Move over metrosexuals, a new movement is afoot: "The New Puritans: A generation of young, educated and opinionated people determined to sidestep the consumerist perils of modern life. So if you own a 4x4, spend all your time shopping, or are simply overweight - watch your back."

PhRMA'S LATEST FICTION

If I made stuff up like this, no one would believe me: The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) recently commissioned a novel that purported to scare people out of getting their drugs from Canada.... but, wait, it gets better. The author assigned to write the book, Julie Chrystyn, turned in a draft that didn't suit the suits...
