Setting aside for the moment that perhaps the most famous person for being famous actually got fan letters while in prison for acting like a idiot, Paris Hilton actually got air time with Larry King for doing so. I didn’t watch it. What I did read, however, was this very clever little piece that helps […]
While this is a bit dated I was pleased to run across it because it stood out for all the right reasons (in no particular order):
The article was about honoring people working on behalf of Tourette Syndrome and children in particular
It was sponsored by the Tourette Syndrome Association
Numerous high-profile businesses were involved, most notably UBS
And […]
Camp Heartland got a nice writeup in the Small Business Times of Milwaukee where they cater to at-risk children ranging from HIV/AIDS to Tourette Syndrome. That’s right, Tourette’s is at risk. While those with Tourette Syndrome are often more musically inclined, artistic, have a higher IQ and generally more remarkable than their “normal” counterparts, the […]
A refreshing, albeit short, article about Jim Eisenreich in the Miami Herald today remembering his/their/the World Series win with the Marlins. He was a hero in the series. Kudos to Mike Phillips who wrote the article.

Matthew S. Ricker, resident pervert and assistant basketball coach at Hill-Murray School in Maplewood, MN, sent sexually harassing cell phone text messages to three of his players. After being arrested, Ricker blamed his behavior on Tourette Syndrome and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Right.
Help me out here: how do you go from sending premeditated messages to Tourette Syndrome? TS […]
Kudos to the Jackson Hole Star-Tribune for this profile of Nadine Kern whose attitude of “[stopping’s] just not an option” is something all of us should take to heart, Tourette Syndrome or not. Imagine:
Severe Endometriosis
Internal bleeding after riding a horse
Interstitial Cystitis
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Attention Deficit Disorder
and, of course, Tourette Syndrome
And you think you’ve got it bad?
Yet, […]
I hate to help popularize idiocy and in some perverse way that’s what I’m doing now. This nitwit titled his blog with “Tourette’s” and the only reason I can fathom for doing so after reading his (not altogether bad) blog is for something to cuss about. Well, we’ve all got our daily bitches but I’m […]
Benny Hill Hinn, a preacher in New Zealand is, apparently about a dumb as a bag of hammers. While preaching (a word I use loosely) in Auckland’s Vector Arena, he could tolerate the intermittent “amen” and “hallelujah” coming from the crowd, but - God forbid - a child get out of hand or a Tourette […]
