http://www.arsenicjulep.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
May 26, 2009. Healthcare Coverage for All Americans. Recently, I got an email from President Obama asking me to sign my name and stand with him in demanding health care reform. He also asked for personal stories about health care reform, so I wrote the following:. If I and the other 50-100 million Americans without reliable coverage were able to pool our resources and spread out the risks across a common health insurance fund like the one enjoyed by federal employees, it would cost a fraction of what we'...

July 27, 2009. Otty Sanchez Sounds Like Andrea Yates All Over Again. There's a tragic story. This week about a San Antonio woman who has allegedly killed and mutilated her own baby. If you have a weak stomach, you might want to skip the next paragraph. The comments posted below the Stateman's story were of the usual "no trial, just fry her" variety, which prompted me also to comment. Why is a woman who is seriously mentally ill allowed to care for children? Links to this post. July 14, 2009. To be both e...

April 2, 2009. Why ER is My Favorite TV Drama Ever. NBC's television drama ER. Is airing its final episode tonight after 15 years on the air. I have been watching since the pilot episode aired, dating back to my first apartment in Austin, and I think I can say that of all of the series I have watched or followed over the years, it is the one that has not only touched me the most, but also taught me the most.

http://www.arsenicjulep.com/2009/07/whatever-happened-to-civility-or.html
July 14, 2009. Whatever Happened to Civility? I'm a longtime fan of Roger Ebert's writing, and not only do I enjoy reading his movie reviews. Both before and after seeing a film, I also find his blog. To be both enjoyable and thought provoking. A recent post, entitled " I Am a Brainiac,. Deplored the anti-intellectual climate in this country, and the harsh reaction to his panning the new "Transformers" movie. I was moved to comment. On his post, and was pleased that he in turn commented on my comment.

Arsenic Julep: June 2009
http://www.arsenicjulep.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
June 2, 2009. Can't Christians Turn the Other Cheek? Yesterday, the New York Times. I thought to myself, "Oh, man, have you picked the wrong woman to argue with." I replied, "No, I have never had an abortion, but I am adopted, so I don't think I'm necessarily entitled to existence." A child cannot grow to maturity on its own; someone has to nurture it. I then asked him, "So, how many unwanted children have you adopted? He replied, "Oh, well, that's their job." I frowned, puzzled. "Whose job?

August 6, 2009. A friend of mine recently sent an email about a gathering to protest changes in the KUT radio schedule, which includes reducing the hours of several long-time DJs, including Larry Monroe, Paul Ray, and Jay Trachtenberg, and using a syndicated show during overnight hours. I responded to him, and posted a comment on the Austin American-Statesman website as follows:. KUT is changing the weeknight shows because not enough people were listening. Radio is not a static entity, and it's not l...
