The only difference between Whitney Houston and the guy who pissed himself in his cot and died last night in the Salvation Army shelter is that nobody knew that guy's name," says Jef Otte in this week's video sidebar to his "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart" weekly column, After Whitney died, pundits got out the soapboxes in record time." Watch the full video below.

The Video edition of "I'm Trying To Break Your Heart" is the best! Keep 'em coming please! They are just to "scienceish" to stop now. I just started to really look forward to them. You wouldn't cut funding to cancer research after just a few tries, would you?  Thanks Jef!

Thanks for the kind words, Zach. Editors, please be advised that I did not pay Zach to say this about me.
