dr phil coming to caesars palace windsor
Dr. Phil can't sing, dance or practive psycology.

Dr. Phil is coming to Caesar's Palace in Windsor, Ontario. What? Dr. Phil? Does he sing? Dance? Tell jokes? What the hell is Dr. Phil going to do headlining a major casino showroom?

I guess the big question is: does anyone care?

Here's a guy who is said to make $30 million per year, who has a talk show where he gives advice to people with screwed up lives and relationships, even though his past and present aren't without  huge problems and scandals. Here's a guy who had a three year marriage annulled in the early 70s and shortly thereafter married his current wife, Robin, who was fresh out of high school. He has a PhD degree is from North Texas University, which many claim is like getting a degree from a community college.

In 1989 the Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists disciplined McGraw for an inappropriate relationship with a "client/employee" and was ordered to take ethics classes, undergo psychological evaluation and had his practice supervised. Because he has not completed the imposed conditions required, he is not licensed to practice psychology in Texas or anywhere else.

In his unauthorized biography there are allegations that he used unethical business practices as the owner of a gym, and that he was abusive to his first wife.

Prsonally, I always wondered how even had a television show, and why people just blindly follow whatever Oprah Winfrey throws at them without question. But headlining Caesar's Palace? What the hell is he going to do to entertain people.

Apparently, he's just going to talk. He is scheduled to cover such topics as relationships, family issues and finances. For $75 per person. Wow!

Hey, I'm also unqualified to speak on those topics and I'll do it for only 20 bucks. Any takers?

Dr. Phil will be appearing at the Colosseum at Caesars Windsor at 8 p.m. on Thursday, April 2nd. I won't be there.
