What I find interesting about "Dr." Laura is that she doesn't/hasn't lived
up to the very values she preaches to others. For example, she insists
on being called "Doctor" - but she's not an MD, Psy. D or even Ed.D.
She's got a Ph.D, but not in human psychology or therapy.

The "D" stands for "doctor." One can be a doctor of mathematics, doctor
of chemistry, doctor of medicine, doctor of psychology, et cetera. All
can use the title "doctor." Heck, even a lawyers can use that title due
their degree being a Juris Doctor ("Doctor of Law").

I'm sure you called some of your professors "Doctor" and never gave
it a second thought.

Unless they *insist* on being addressed as "Doctor", as was the case
with former Homeland Security official Laura Callahan.

Exactly!

Back in my days at University, the profs who got the most respect were those
who didn't demand being addressed by specific titles.

One thing common to all of talk radio is that the host or an assistant has
his/her finger on the cutoff button all the time. Nobody dares to disagree with
the "expert" for fear of being cut off. At least HS is honest about it.
