The Genetic Reason Some Of Us Are Happier

September 29, 2011 By Michael Sigman Leave a Comment

Michael Sigman: I once dated a woman who was happy. She slept well, ate when she was hungry and exercised when her body needed it. I had insomnia, ate gallons of chocolate chip ice cream and ran eight miles a day.

Cybertherapy Is Cyber, But Is It Therapy?

November 28, 2010 By Michael Sigman Leave a Comment

Now, I treasure cyber-space as much as the next neurotic. Google shines like a memory-restoring virtual sun, always glad to remind me what happened in the book I just read. I’ve cyber-shopped and cyber-swapped. Best of all, cyber-dating introduced me to my significant other. But cyber-therapy? I don’t think

November 10, 2010 By Michael Sigman 3 Comments

Brenth Budowsky: What is
astounding and incomprehensible is the degree that Obama and too many Democrats have surrendered on first principle policies where the majority of voters agree with the
progressives.

Wayne Williams: Mike was cantankerous, brilliant, stubborn, and, of course, funny. He never knew his parents, was adopted and raised by a casino boss, served with the U.S. Marines in Korea, wrote for many comedy shows and comics, and wrote perfect prose to his hearts content, performed stand up himself, and taught others how to do so as well.

Steve Hochstadt: Is Hollywood trying to push a gay agenda on right-thinking Americans, as some people claim? I think it’s the other way around: Hollywood is trying to sell products.
