Doc McCoy is retired and lives up to the moniker of "Old Codger" - a tad bit contrarian at times; enjoys playing the "devil's advocate;" and fully capable of being cantankerous and opinionated. Currently living in China which allows a unique perspective of America since he is on the outside looking in; not directly affected by all that is going on; and thus, has no dog in the fight. Doc maintains a website and blog at www.oldcodger.org
