• Legislative Malpractice

  The medical malpractice (med-mal) insurance industry, some politicians, and even some uncritical doctors, have of late been misleading the public about the efficacy of caps on med-mal awards, a.k.a. ‘tort reform,’ to contain healthcare costs. They are telling the public that med-mal awards are driving the disastrous cost inflation in health care we’ve seen over the past several years. But the truth is that ‘tort reform’ is just a free ride for insurers and incompetent doctors on the backs of seriously injured patients and good doctors.

• Jungle Madness: Martin Denny 1911-2005

  The pop music world has lost a legend. Although the career of "Tiki Sound" (also known as "Exotica") pioneer Martin Denny falls squarely outside of rock music, his rediscovery in the 90's by hipster "cocktail" bands like Combustible Edison, Stereolab, The Moog Cookbook, Love Jones and others merit him a salute at Blogcritics.
