One Last Time in Support of Dr. Ryan Cole

His presentation, like all of his professional and political writings and presentations was factual and based on the very best science currently available. All my interactions with Dr. Cole since the beginning […]

Let the Games Begin

There was a time when I considered myself a good friend of Butch Otter’s. Our paths haven’t crossed recently, and I hope that will change soon. We shared a common friend who was close to both of us and who recently passed away. If Butch Otter was your friend, you were lucky. He is loyal—almost […]

Truth and Consequences

Audrey Dutton is one of Idaho’s most talented and exceptional reporters. In an article in the Idaho Capital Sun dated May 5th 0430 she gives Dr. Ryan Cole and his company a journalistic autopsy (or was it a colonoscopy) that I am sure will win awards and accolades.
