Our old friend Dr. Knowledge, whose poetry has graced the back of TW for many years now, is expanding his audience to the whole wide world by moving to the TW blog. Here’s his first installment, about a certain Alaskan governor:
She’s No Brunette
On that you can bet.
And she’s no redhead either.
For I’ve heard her speech, and it’s not that deep.
Now I’m thinkin’ a blonde lives inside her.

This article appears in Oct 16-22, 2008.
I had to re-read that to realize that “either” was intended to be pronounced “*I*-ther.”
I suspect the blonde who lives inside Sarah Palin is Ann Coulter.
I’m … well … pleased that Dr. Knowledge is now online.
But … (you knew that was coming)
Couldn’t you carve out a little space on the Opinions page instead of burying him here on the blog?
Doc Knowledge should have gone straight to YouTube long ago, but I gets the feelin’ he’s not a big tech dude. This blog is better than none. Yaaay DK!!
What does Dr. Knowledge know, and when did he know it?
I think Dr. Know knows more than he let’s on.
YouTube would be good.
Who would be the face of Dr. K?
Or maybe Dr. K should open a Twitter account.
Or maybe he should just stay on the Back Page.
I missed my Dr. K fix! He’s been around since at least 1999 — how long exactly?
I can’t remember the Weekly without DrK. I’m going to guess he’s debut at 20 years ago.
That’s good question about the visual identity of the Doc for the You Tube. Having been spiritually attended to by DK, I would be pleased to see him as himself.
I mean his debut.
Thank you kind soul.This oddesy was begun in 1978,filling a ever
increasing need to address the miriad of questions brought about
by living in a modern world,all in three to four lines max.
Egads two numbers were some how transposed.Did I do that?
Most likely,as this stone age soul grapples with this new
tech”Knowledge”y.Flip the seven with the eight for a clearer
picture.
Could Dr. Knowledge PLEASE tell the music folks that if they EVER put a picture like that on 9 questions I’ll never read it again. As it is I almost lost my breakfast when I opened that page and I never made it to question one.
Dear Nauseous
Though your note was some what criptic in it’s nature I believe
I may have cracked your code’and can offer some assistance. Your
panacea,your “ELIXER” is to be found deep within the musical
messages shared in the Beatle’s “White” album. I can think of
little else at this point that will be of help in pulling your
prime natural imbalance together.If “9” is of consequence at
this time you’ll find nurture there. And so brother I have made
my attempt to serve you well. Tell John I said hello.
A blog is better than no Doc K at all.
I link his absence to the Weekly’s fall
from grace in my mind.
I once turned the Weekly page, last to first,
to each Thursday slake my knowledge thirst,
but now the Weekly is behind
the 8 ball.
More Dr. K.,
less falderal.
In this season of Halloween & El Dia de los Muertos, it’s good to know that Dr. K. isn’t dead- just reincarnated into a bigger, better, more bionic form!
