...intrinsically against passion. Mercy, no!") and cutesy interjections ("Just a little free advice there, from your Auntie Liz"). Then there are the apologies for anything that might offend. Her eloquent defense of gay marriage, for instance, is diminished by this chatty advisory: "You see where I'm heading with this, right? Or rather, you see where history is heading with this? What I mean to say is, you won't be surprised, will you, if I now take a few minutes to discuss the subject of same-sex marriage...

I'm amazed at how many people don't use shopping lists at all, or if they do, they're inadequate. These are the same people who said they don't have time to use coupons, and I say, the amount of time you're going to save by making a good list will more than make up for the time...
