I also found the term ''J-word'' to be very offensive.
Word. Inclusion means letting the Christians in, too.
If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ooops....She Did It Again: Anti-Contraception Nurse Takes Women's Wombs into Her Own Hands
...the story of a New Mexico woman whose IUD was removed by a nurse against the woman's wishes and who is now suing both the nurse and the center in federal court for battery, constitutional violations and negligence.
The patient went to the Presbyterian Health Services Rio Rancho Family Health Center in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, and saw nurse practitioner Sylvia Olona. Her request: Simply to shorten the strings on her IUD for greater comfort.
The result? Nurse Olona took it upon herself to remove the troublesome device. Why? Simple, Nurse Olona told her patient:
"Having the IUD come out was a good thing [because] I personally do not like IUDs. I feel they are a type of abortion. I don't know how you feel about abortion, but I am against them. ...What the IUD does is take the fertilized egg and pushes it out of the uterus."
Hmmmm....funny....I don't think they teach this definition of abortion in medical or nursing school. But in the free-for-all, define-your-own-medical-practice era of reproductive politics of the past 8 years, anything apparently goes. Nurse Olona could instead, with respect for herself and her patient, easily have said "I can't help you with your IUD as I am uncomfortable with this form of contraception, but let me get you someone who can."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Thank you, Connie. That is what I wanted to say much clearer and more to the point than I said it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Seriously. Was he also the one doing the "please, take your seats" beforehand? Because I was all, okay, I'll sit down.

I am not a fan of Warren and didn't really care about his prayer one way or the other, but I think if one is expecting a Christian minister of any denomination who is asked to say a prayer at in inauguration for a President who also happens to be Christian to not mention Jesus is expecting too much.
Yeah. When he was asked a few weeks ago whether he's mention Jesus, one of his assistants responded with something like, "He's a Christian and will pray as a Christian."
I don't really know too much about Warren other than his books and the couple of quotes that have been around lately. I wasn't terribly impressed with his invocation -- like some others have said, he just didn't seem all that charismatic.

Okay, I think it's time I had my own inaugural luncheon. Yay for watch-n-post.

Yeah, I was like "given the discussion in B.org, I should perhaps be paying attention to what he is saying, but...I can only pay attention to how he is saying it. Because YUM"
