And it begins...

Quickest turnaround I've ever had on a letter to the editor - submitted it yesterday morning, and they printed it this morning. I made some comment in the subject line of my email that this was likely going to be the first letter of many on the subject, and the woman from the Juneau Empire who did the confirmation call told me that I was right, and she was glad that mine was so well written. Given some of the incoherent rants I've seen on the subject (abortion seems to be one of those issues that takes people down to third-grade-level debating), I don't envy her her job over the next few weeks.

I especially like the title they gave my letter; that should cause a bit of stir. *evil grin*

Planned Parenthood can prevent abortions

We'll see if anyone comes up with some well-thought-out responses over the next few weeks...

That's great that you were able to get in the paper. Keep writing to them -- your name is memorable, and I bet a dollar someone's gonna offer you a job as a columnist. ;)

That'd be cool, but I have a feeling I'd be a bit too lazy/apathetic to be a columnist. There are only a couple of issues that I care enough about to actually write about. Though I suppose they could always syndicate my blog or something. :)

If you did that, would Mr. Jerry Brown get his own subcolumn?

Possibly, although I have a feeling audiences would eventually get tired of a columnist whose vocabulary consisted of "Meow", "Mrrrowr", "MrooOOWWR", and "PURRRRRRR". =)
