WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Friday quietly ended the Bush administration's ban on giving federal money to international groups that perform abortions or provide information on the option.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Thanks to Shrift, I immediately went to Monster.com and changed my password.
Scary.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
JZ, I'm around too, if you need.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
But...it's not even *spelled* chipoLte.
My grandfather could never pronounce Chick-Fil-A. It always came out "Chick-a-fil."
However, he could say "catfish fillet" just fine.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Aw, juliana! Our door is always open to you (obviously, we made it home by now), but how are you doing with the Death Flu?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am so sorry for your loss askye. I am giving my kitty some extra cuddles.
My mother cannot say Vietnam or salsa. She somehow puts a million extra vowels in them (and we are from Western NY). So it is vee-a-AT-nam and saaw- all- SUH. Drives me nuts. And I do somehow draw the line between accents and just saying the wrong word, like Chi-pol-te.
Of course, I can't pronounce many words that I see mostly in writing. I just found out today that I was saying proselytize wrong.

Compassionately intolerant
My stepmother used to say em-BOYD-ree for embroidery. I could never figure out how she got that.

When I was younger I used to get after my mother because she could never remember the names of famous people, books, or movies, and would either make up names or use a name that is close but not quite. For example, she calls the movie White Nights, "Knights in White Satin". But now I do the exact same thing. When we were doing the play "Accidental Death of an Anarchist", I kept calling it "Accidental Tourist". Now we are doing a play called "The Hairy Dutchman" and I keep saying "The Flying Dutchman" or "The Hairy Ape".

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I just found out today that I was saying proselytize wrong.
Now I'm all paranoid. pros-SELL-li-tize? pros-sell-li-TIZE? I can't even figure out how I say it now.

I was pronouncing it with a prose instead of a pros.
