I'm a gullible idiot, and I admit it. Alan Thicke's blog is not in fact written by Alan Thicke. Which is a pity, because my opinion of Alan Thicke went up several notches from reading it (not that I had a low opinion of the guy before, but here I was, thinking Alan Thicke was this intelligent, articulate, really funny guy [which, for all I know, the real Alan Thicke is], but it turned out not to be him after all). From now on, the first thing I read on a Web page is going to be the disclaimer.
