Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
OK, I'm looking at TDS correspondent bios on the Comedy Central website, and I think I want Samantha Bee to be my new BFF:
When she is not working she enjoys walking her toddler in circles around her tiny apartment and correcting spelling errors on menus.

M: John Oliver and C the other two. John Hodgman, otoh, swoon.
My friend went to theatre schoool with Jason Jones, and everytime time he appears on TDS, she says his name in the same tone that Seinfeld uses for Newman. She's super nice, and won't say anything bad about him, though. Which is making more even more curious about why she doesn't like him. The most she's said is that she didn't care for his clique.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm going to M Conan, just because he's apparently available and we have shared childhood memories of Shirley Temple movies on TV. Then I guess I'll toss a coin to see which of the others I'll C back to his lovely wife and family.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I think I will follow amych's plan for the correspondents.

I thought he was a family man too, no?

Re: Aluminum v. Aluminium
Derived from the Latin ALUMEN for ALUM (Potassium aluminium sulphate). In 1761 French Chemist Louis-Bernard Guyton de Morveau proposed that ALUMINE for the base material of ALUM. De Morveau was instrumental in setting up a standardised system for chemical nomenclature and often collaborated with Antoine Lavoisier, who in 1787, suggested that ALUMINE was the oxide of a previously undiscovered metal.
In 1808 Sir Humphrey Davy proposed the name ALUMIUM for the metal. This rather unwieldy name was soon replaced by ALUMINUM and later the word ALUMINIUM was adopted by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemists in order to conform with the "ium" ending of most elements. By the mid-1800s both spellings were in use, indeed Charles Dickens commented at the time that he felt both names were too difficult for the masses to pronounce!
So the answer is: yes.

I'd just like to thank everyone in IL-14 who voted for Bill Foster, because he's already doing good things on his first week in office!
