The FDA is short-staffed and has tight deadlines to approve new drugs. And then once a drug is on the market, the FDA has only limited power to monitor it for safety.

These prescription drugs have legitimate medical uses, but there's also evidence that they carry serious risks. And those risks were underestimated or undetected when the FDA approved them.

Internet phone service was the first technology that worked after Hurricane Katrina. But Internet phone service won't work in a power outage and neither will a cordless phone.

The emergency locating system for cell phones still isn't completely in place. And even where it is, a lot of older phones are not technically able to tell emergency responders where you are.

The Regis-Ryan network swap is kind of a fun dynamic and I certainly wish Ryan the best. I know Dick as well. Everyone doing these types of shows, we all know each other and we'll probably have a drink when our shows are over, somewhere in Times Square, and just salute New Year's together.

So just take a look at the different prosecution rates and sentencing rules for ghetto drugs like crack and suburban drugs like cocaine, or for drunk drivers and drug users, or just between blacks and whites in general―the statistics are clear: this is a war on the poor and minorities. Or ask yourself a simple question: how come marijuana is illegal but tobacco legal? It can't be because of the health impact, because that's exactly the other way around―there has never been a fatality from marijuana use among million reported users in the United States, whereas tobacco kills hundreds of thousands of people every year. My strong suspicion, though I don't know how to prove it, is that the reason is that marijuana's a weed, you can grow it in your backyard, so there's nobody who would make any money off it if it were legal. Tobacco requires extensive capital inputs and technology, and it can be monopolized, so there are people who can make a ton of money off it. I don't really see any other difference between the two of them, frankly―except that tobacco's far more lethal and far more addictive.
