SRSLY.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nixon worried that greater access to abortions would foster “permissiveness,” and said that “it breaks the family.” But he also saw a need for abortion in some cases — like interracial pregnancies, he said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“There are times when an abortion is necessary. I know that. When you have a black and a white,” he told an aide, before adding, “Or a rape.”&lt;/p&gt;

For an extra $8 you can see your FICO score. Now that I’ve paid off all of my credit card debt, I found this really annoying:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b class="header"&gt;Accounts&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br/&gt;Lenders usually take a positive view of individuals with a range of credit accounts - car loan, credit cards, mortgage, etc. - that have a record of timely payments. However, a high debt to credit ratio on certain types of revolving (credit card) accounts and installment loans will typically have a negative impact.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I had a good credit rating, but all of my debt is student loans. So what? I’m supposed to go out and carry over credit card debt to get a better FICO score?&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://apropos.tumblr.com/post/127827545</link><guid>http://apropos.tumblr.com/post/127827545</guid><pubDate>Sun, 21 Jun 2009 21:09:18 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>There will be missteps with this President, but he is thoughtful and shares my values--ultimately I think he will make the right decisions.
