		<description><![CDATA[I ran across this bit in a news article today &#8230;
Meghan McCain, daughter of Sen. John McCain, posted on her Twitter account in January, &#8220;I think more Republicans need to start taking a stand for… civil rights in this country and set the example that this is not a partisan issue.&#8221; 
McCain said this after [...]]]></description>

There is more and more evidence that my thinking on this one isn&#8217;t far from the truth &#8230; The most vocal homo-phobes (mostly republican) have a lot of skeletons in their very dark closets.

OK, I admit it &#8230; I&#8217;m an illegal citizen. I&#8217;ve committed crimes in my past.
For years I had 2 cats &#8211; and not once did I register them with the city of Raleigh and pay the city&#8217;s pussy tax. Later I had a dog &#8211; and I never paid tax on him. I frankly don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After another CAT scan and a checkup by my ENT surgeon all remains clear as far as the throat cancer goes. It&#8217;s been over 8 months since the cancer was first found and almost 6 months since I discontinued the chemo and radiation treatments.
Playing the odds seems to be working!

Yesterday, Adm. Mike Mullen chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Defense Secretary Robert Gates went before the Senate Armed Forces Committee to testify that don&#8217;t ask, don&#8217;t tell should end. A couple of worthwhile quotes from Adm. Mullen:
