Poor choice of words?

From Close Obama Aides Get Tapped (emphasis added):

In an interview with Crain's Chicago Business in 2007, Ms. Rogers said she considers herself an advocate for women entering the business world. "I am constantly looking for opportunities to not only work and assist young women in my business, but also to make room for them and to have people look at them," she said.

Look at them do what? Do they do tricks?

This baby thing is pretty wild

I've already shared this image on Facebook, which just goes to show ya how enthralled I am with it. Yes, in case you hadn't heard, Karen's pregnant (just about 15 weeks in now) and I'm -- well, we're -- really excited about it.

There are two frequent comments/questions we've gotten thus far about this: (1) do you want to find out the baby's sex? and (2) your life's sure gonna change, are you ready? To which my short replies are: (1') no, and (2') no kidding! To be quite honest, I really don't understand people's obsession with (1), but then again, I must admit that -- in response to that obsession -- I've gotten pretty obsessed with my reply to it. Similarly, I can understand why people want to warn me about (2), but at the same time it's not like it's terribly informative. I mean, it'll be what it'll be, I know it'll be different -- but I don't know how it'll be different, and neither does anyone else, exactly.
