[Word Powers] Today's Words

Filibuster(fil-uh-buhs-ter) (verb): Obstruct deliberately by delaying.

Senate Republicans that they would try to filibuster a massive Pentagon bill that funds the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, an unusual move that several acknowledged was an effort to delay President Obama's health-care legislation.

Spar(spahr) (verb): Dispute; to bandy words about in argument.

The trademark spat between the companies controlled by the brothers, who have been fighting a legal battle over natural gas, is interesting because it is the first time they are sparring over trademarks.
