Dear Big Daddy,
I went to exercise therapy, and the operator of the clinic recommended that I take this therapy. I went there and I had to walk sideways into a telephone booth. I said what the hell did I do here? I did not know this woman did not have any
Dear Big Daddy,

Hi
Dear Big Daddy,
Imagine my shock at seeing the pseudonym “Big Daddy” attached to politically correct advice to the lovelorn. “Big Daddy” is responding to the fantasies of a 20-something male staffer who is contemplating a sexual liaison with his female/boss/Member, providing a counsel of prudence.

—Jerry Fletcher
Dear Deludinati,
Dear Big Daddy, You’re obviously left of center, but you declare your bias. I can respect that. But admit it, Republicans were right when it came to the budget. Come on—$10 billion in the hole? And you can’t hold Republicans in this legislature responsible for spending passed by Congress. —Don’t tax me, bro
Dear Big Daddy, The holidays are coming, and I’m dreading it. My Mexican immigrant parents are going to make me feel guilty in front of all the relatives. I’m the first person in my family to finish college. Both my parents worked two jobs to make that happen. They think I should be making
Dear Big Daddy,
The fires are mostly out. At the risk of being cynical, who are the political winners and losers–and what else did we learn?
–Singed in San Diego
Dear Embers of Escondido,
In this business, cynical is a risk you should always take. But to avoid starting out with
