Where is Lord Peter Wimsey When You Need Him?

The Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area is in a swivet about its water supply. It seems that several district water supplies have levels of arsenic that "exceeds the latest guidellines."

So they're worried we're all being poisoned.

DIH tries to be patient but for heaven's sake, this is too much. Have they never read a word of Agatha Christie or Dorothy Sayers? Don't they watch "Mystery"?

Don't they know that a little arsenic everyday will save you from a murder attempt? You take a little every day, you build up an immunity. That way when a rival dusts the postprandial Turkish Delight with arsenic-laced powdered sugar, you walk away healthy as a horse. While the poor guy who's been skipping his arsenic dose croaks. Come on, that's how Harriet Vane was set up, remember?

I can understand people not reading. But skipping PBS?

And they call themselves liberals.
