I'm home!
The weather certainly changed here! It's cold - and we might even have a frost tomorrow morning. Good thing I didn't get around to planting anything last week. Some times, being a procrastinator is a good thing...
So I was checking out all my email from the last few days, and whilst checking with the ladies of the Cotillion, I found that our friend, Right Wing Sparkle, is now blogging for the Houston Chronicle - only they renamed her Texas Sparkle. She is doing a great job of covering the story of the woman that a Texas Hospital wants to kill . They have a clever way of making her comatose - they drugged her - and now, under Texas law, they can just pull the plug. Awful, horrible. Not ethical in anyway. Please, go read about it here. (yes, I know it is the DU - and someone there is the sister of the patient in question, and her family is asking for support).

Hey, even a broken clock is right twice a day. The problem this guy has is that he seems to have stuck to only DU and not trying the cable and tv human intrest reporters. A small bunch of net activists aren't going to be enough. It'll take a national effort of hundreds of thousands, and that'll only come from being on FOX, CNN, MSNBC, Dateline, and 60 Minutes type things.
This law is a travesty. CNN covered it a few months ago, and it was a travesty then too.

When I read the DU post a couple of days ago I noticed that most of the replies to her post were either complaining about Bush (big surprise) or sending her warm feelings.
Right Wing News and a few other conservative blogs also covered it and the woman who posted "said the "right wing people" are responsible for the deal St. Luke's is offering and the Illinois facility that agreed to take her sister".
Even though the facility is far away from the family it's the best offer so far. I'll take productive action over "warm feelings" any day.
