Back In The Saddle Again

Dear reader it’s been twenty + years now since Dr.Knowledge first hung out
His shingle on the very back page of the Tucson Weekly. For years to come Weekly readers came to rely on the good doc. to be present there with a dose of commentary elixir. Just the right apothecary for what might be ail’n  those
of the cosmopolitan life style. Again and again folks were known to return there to search among the wreckage and ruins of those sordid ads for D.U.I.
lawyers, bail bondsmen, drug screenings, and cheap no contest divorces.
Those who searched knew the Doc. would be there darn near Mother Theresa
 like in his devotion to aid the sick of heart and head.        

   The Doc. offered stimulating commentary from things political to pop
and back again with an easy ability to find a note of humor in even the
darkest of shenanigans being perpetrated in this modern world. This all
done with in a print space that would have not violated the sacred womb
of a fortune cookie.

Alas as life would have it there came a time when the Doc. was needed in
theaters removed from the world of print. A calling much greater was to demand his attention. So it was that his pen was laid aside, as a hand was
needed to rock a cradle. It is only now, with two cradles behind him that
time permits his return to that past love of caring and sharing with his
community and greater dysfunctional world. 

   You, seeker that you are certainly are invited here time and again for the offerings to be shared in days to come.  There’s a lot going on out there, some
of which is of a festering nature. Just know that the good ole Docs not a bit too squeamish to shine a light on it.

 What follows are a few random samples of nuggets from the past to stir 
remembrances, and acquaint some who are new to the 
Dr. Knowledge experience. A basic caution… take all of this as you should
most all of life, with a grain of salt, and possibly a hit of  Tabasco.

Things Political . . .
The Doc. never saw any point to beating about the bush when we all needed to be beating on the Bush, So it came to be that our then dictator, monarch.
Imperial potentate, hit man. < I didn’t see president in there any where became a most revisited subject. His administrations comically sad bafoonery
Provided fertile ground all too easy criticism. Gone from the spot light his sorry legacy lives with us still in global wars, sickened economys, and environmental degradation. Oh well, at least he was good for a laugh.
