Dude, a newscaster just said "Mr. Obama." Shouldn't that be "President," like, always?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I suppose I think of nuns as kind of the educated storm troopers of the Catholic world.
This was my experience of the avowed religious in my program at Loyola. I loved them all. The wives of the Baptist ministers who proudly shared the horrifying scare tactics they used in their pregnancy 'crisis' centers? No love.
The other day I was in my friend's children's consignment shop when a woman came in with flyers for such a center. I asked a couple of questions, to which she would only say, "Um, I'm new...I think it is connected to a church but I don't really know..." Right.
My friend was so open and welcoming with her, but the hair went up on the back of my neck. When she left, without pushing my fear too much, I asked him to look the center up on the 'net before putting the literature out. Those papers never hit the counter, I tell you what.

I am quite sure that if I had been alive in medieval times, I would have been a nun or a courtesan. Maybe one first, then the other.

...eh? I think it's fairly common to say Mr. Obama, Mr. Bush, etc?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
smonster, Mr is acceptable, also. I hear it an awful lot on NPR. I think it's an adressing him vs referring to him thing.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I wish everyone could just agree to do things that are actually helpful in reducing the number of abortions. It would make the world a little bit simpler.
This is MOST people, you know? It's really, numerically speaking, a tiny percentage of pro-life people who are anti-birth control and anti-education. They're a loud fucking minority, however.

Squeaky wheels get the grease...in the form of press coverage.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Oh, I doubt they are into loud fucking.

Speaking of press coverage....
The 2010 AP Stylebook now prefers website over web site.
They still go with e-mail, however archaic.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I like e-mail! And website. Although the AMWA grammar guru prefers "web site."
