She is ok in my Book anyone that would marry the handicap must a ok ?
Jill Biden taught English at my high school while I was there.
To bad she isn’t a psychiatrist. Being married to an idiot is not what one would like to be remembered for, VP or not.
Lots of people call themselves “Dr”. “Dr”. David Duke, for example. And “Dr”. Bashar Assad (playing ophtalmologist with his glasses made from windowglass).
I wonder whatever happened to the “Military Families” gig Biden and Moochelle used to have. Don’t see much about it on TV anymore. I guess being a “lame duck” has different priorities.
No truer words have ever been spoken.
Joe must have a big schlong, because other than that, I can’t think of a reason why anyone would want him.
And let me guess — you were more impressed with her legs than her words.
What handicap?

The example of a nurse (presumably with a Ph.D. in nursing) diagnosing an ear infection doesn’t really fit the rest of the column. A nurse or physician assistant is capable of a great deal of simple medical procedure, irrespective of a Ph.D. Even a parent with an otoscope can diagnose an ear infection.
This was in 1993, so she did have a nice pair of gams. I had the other English teacher though.
This is simple, don’t ask if they are a doctor. Ask if they are a physician. As a retired teacher, I saw this a lot in education.
I sometimes refer to Dr. mrs jimfree by her academic title. She’s actually a skilled historian and writer who has been published in journals as well as writing a book that is part of a reference series. I am very proud of my scholar.

It's not just at the doctoral level. Our national fetish with formal schooling is strange and creepy.
I went to school, and I can't understand how anyone else who did would want to send their kids. I'm like Rush, who hated school from day one. He wanted to be free, like the kids outside.
PhDs were referred to as doctors hundreds of years before medical doctors ever existed. It is the MD that co-opted the title in order to elevate their standing above being an ordinary barber.
It always happens that way.
I had a professor in undergraduate school who put it this way:
“If a doctor shows enough promise while working on his MD, he might be allowed to continue studying to earn his Doctorate.”
At the time, he was miffed that the Lexington, KY Herald-Leader had decided to quit using “Dr” to address anyone except a physician. I must admit, if I had spent the time, money, and effort earning a PhD, I’d flaunt it.
