Theodore Dalrymple is a political and cultural commentator whose opinions I often but do not always share.  He is also, or he can be, an insufferable prig with Tory tendencies.

I like to think when he exhibits these tendencies is when we part company but honesty compels me to admit that this is not always the case.  Most of the time, not always.  At the least, when he goes full-bore Tory, so to speak, I do get a fingernail-on-chalk reaction, and I count this as a good thing.  Sometimes I can be down with da peepul.

But Dalrymple is, in his day job, also a physician, by the name of Anthony Daniels.  Very often he is able to weave his cultural views and medical experience together to make for a seamless argument.  I expect that is not always the case, though.  Sometimes medicine might take you one way and cultural commentary somewhere else.

It is for this reason that I await word from Daniels the Doctor what Ted the Tory thinks about this, from The Atlantic:

The Fist Bump Manifesto

Bumping fists has a negative bro-stigma, but it’s better than shaking hands—in that it transmits significantly fewer bacteria. At a time of global concern that our antibiotics are becoming obsolete, new research shows how fist bumping could save lives.

C’mon  Ted, I know you can do it!
