In Bitches, on the word "problematized":

Gloomcookie

What a great Friday! I just got this feedback on a presentation I did in class (appropriately enough on tagging, blogs, wikis, and participation inequality [thanks, Jessica!]):

Looking at my notes, you did very well. You brought in outside readings, engaged the readings, problematized the topic, and provided good analysis. We don't have hard-coded grades yet, but based on my notes, you received high marks.

ChiKat

Is this a real word??

Yup.

From Websters: To propose problems.

It's no woobify.

Woobify is a perfectly fine word. Problematized hurts my head.

Ginger

So is "solutionatize" a word?

Steph L.

Sounds perfectly cromulent to me.

Polter-Cow

If you're not a part of the solution, you're a part of the precipitatizing.

tommyrot on the ultimate voting machine: It could only be improved if each voting machine came with a monkey that started shrieking once you placed your vote.

Topic!Cindy And risk his voice before he delivered his acceptance speech?

Allyson (who needs context?)

He has socks and underpants?

What the hell else is there to do? Are you knitting him a bike?

ita: It's possible I shouldn't see documentaries recommended by vegans.

Teppy, in Bitches:

I just answered a question about Catholic paraphernalia, and then a pony play question.

There's something so deeply wrong about that.

And so wonderfully right.

From Natter: Don't let a question go unasked--especially when shrift and coffee are involved.

shrift:

Now I have coffee in my eye.

Steph:

....how?

shrift:

A rogue droplet of coffee forced itself out of the tiny little airhole in the lid and vengefully flung itself into my eye, howling, "FREEEEEEEEDOM!"

Cass: I am unsure on the chile, chili, chilly (okay, that's not right) spelling conventions and I am way too attached to dying on the couch to check.

tommyrot: I think it's more likely for Bush to attack Iran before the new Congressional session....

Strega: Oh, I think he'll attack both of them.

Erika J. in natter:

As long as there is math, there will be praying in school.

Laura: Santorum's concession speech was pitch perfect. It was a bit hard to hear with me jumping up and down yelling at the tv and all, but very gracious.
