"Blog" is a stupid word

Dear Steven,

I do not like the word, "blog." Never have. It sounds like something large and involuntary that has made a wrong-way turn in a human baby's esophagus. I feel the need to apologize when I use the word in polite company, or at least to say it in a way that carries the understanding that it is not a word I approve of, and I use it only because it is standard convention.

Please find another word to describe yourself.

Thank you.

The Church of England Backs Killing Disabled Babies?

I wish I could say that this post's heading was a gotcha line. Apparently, it's not. According to an article in the Daily Mail, the Church of England believes it is moral and compassionate for doctors to kill or let die babies who are severely disabled. This reminds me of the tragedy of China's dying rooms.
