I love how since this show talks about feminism, Mary Tyler Moore decided to make a change behind the camera. She decided to hire female writers and directors to help create each episode since the show was co-created by the fantastic James L. Brooks.

I have a q for the copyright experts! There’s a physical picture of my great-grandma as a girl from 1907, and she’s in a Lipan camp dress and smiling. It’s never been shared on the internet cause we’re afraid ppl will take it & add the wrong information. Is there any way to copyright this picture?

AP: Pakistan carried out airstrikes on 10 sites in Afghanistan that it said were used to launch drone attacks against Pakistan a day earlier, a sharp escalation in recent fighting between the neighbors that threatens mediation efforts. There was no immediate response from Kabul to the latest strikes

This idiocy he's spouting isn't entirely his fault, remember that the Health Care (and insurance) industry as it is setup in the US is 100% about obfuscating Health Care and Insurance costs to the end user so that market competition is never present.
Dr Oz: "There are 5 times more people in parts of Obamacare in Florida than live in the state. It's impossible More than a third of people on Obamacare have never used the insurance policy once. If you were gonna pay your hard-earned money to buy insurance, would you ever use it? The answer is yes"
