My blog about the Huffington Post, which disappeared from the Huffington Post today, is back up again!

I don't know what made this happen, but I think HuffPo just made a brave move. After all, what makes this site so great is that it is open to all kinds of...

My father lived an unusual life. He was born in Germany and was only four when Hitler took control of the country. He turned ten when Hitler started World War II and he was sixteen when the war was over. He narrowly escaped with his life, since he left Dresden...

In a recent blog called Companies Snooping on E-mail I did a poll and it turned out that a significant number of my readers voted for the option "Most companies are criminal enterprises. They...

I wasn't going to blog today, because I don't want to hog too much space on HuffPo . . . but something happened that made me change my mind.

First some background. Monday I wrote a blog called Am I Crazy Paranoid . . . ?. In it I...

I have been one of the few Huffington Post writers who has not written about the Iraq invasion. I figured I would stick to stuff I knew, such as healthcare and a few odd stories about lightly dressed women.

That was before I discovered that the Rendon Group had

The reason I'm asking this question is that I've been taking a more careful look at who reads my...

Many of you have asked what happened to "my cheating friend." I haven't written more about her, because I didn't hear anything back. But finally, she did call.

Some of you also asked what my role...

First, when I heard what Ann Coulter had said on national television and written in her book, I winced. But I figured no one would make much of it. She's pretty crazy after all, and has made a career out of being completely obnoxious.

Then I saw her on the...

I've been critical of some drug industry practices, I've been saying that me-too drugs don't always add much value, and I've said that many brand extensions and new formulations are just there to make more money...

Knowing with certainty what will happen in the future is, of course, impossible. Predicting the future with certainty is, on the other hand, quite possible. We do it every day. We shop food and predict we'll get hungry. We buy gas before the tank...

Ed Silverman, one of the most brilliant healthcare reporters in the country, wrote the following article for the Star Ledger. If you want to make sure you don't miss his insightful reporting, set a google alert for him here.

Rost takes on Pfizer

According to Reuters, a new study finds that companies snooping on employee e-mail is very common.

The study reveals that close to half of big companies in the United States read and analyze employee e-mail.

I am going to come right out and admit something. I'm a sucker for the Wall Street Journal. A lot of people think this is a boring paper. The reason for that is they've never read...

I've been blogging on the Huffington Post for about two months. Part of the fun is reading your comments.

But most people never reply. According to Nielsen/NetRatings, the Huffington Post had more than 1.3 million unique visitors in March and my blog got about 100,000 of those, however, only...

Pfizer has hired celebrity lawyer Ronald Green of Epstein, Becker & Green to defend themselves against my employment lawsuit.

Ronald Green was the lawyer who defended Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly when Ms. Mackris, a former producer of his talk show accused...

During my twenty years in marketing I've learned that pretty much everything around us is manipulated and set up in a way to persuade us to buy something.

I have to admit that before I started my career in pharma I had no...

The FDA is here to protect us and to ensure, among other things, safe drugs.

This is a tough task, a task which will often result in criticism.

And when the FDA is caught red handed making decisions that have nothing to do with science, and everything to do with...

Finally, it happened, Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling from Enron have been found guilty.

But then I noticed something about God and Ken Lay.

Ken Lay was quoted saying "I firmly believe I'm innocent of the charges against me. We believe that God...

In Russia they used to say: The government pretends to pay us and we pretend to work. Well, in the U.S. we could say that our politicians pretend to stop illegal immigration and Big Business pretends they don't hire them.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not so sure that it...

There was something I forgot to tell you yesterday, when I wrote about Pfizer's Super Secret Secrets and how they didn't want me to see documents related to my own litigation against them.

They didn't just want to keep their most secret documents...
