When I mentioned my concern about taking unprescribed medication, Carolla suggested that I just eat a lot of beef jerky. "I believe there is a lot of testosterone in jerky. That would be the most logical food to put it in, anyway." I suggested I might enjoy it more as a pasta with a light tomato-basil sauce, which I could market as "testosteroni." Carolla said...

Of course, the emergency aid, contained in a Pentagon funding package that passed the House of Representatives Thursday, is motivated less by ideological affinity with Colombia's rulers than by the war on drugs, but nobody doubts that its net effect will be to beef up counterinsurgency efforts. In instances - and there are many - where the leftist guerrillas of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia (FARC) stand between the authorities and the drug traffickers, fighting the FARC inevitably becomes part and parcel of the war on drugs. But the Pentagon and a number...
