Over at Towleroad, Lewis Payton is filling in for Andy while he travels. Lewis's first post was a doozy (read: awesome), and has caused a barrage of comments … well a few at least. I always like to read the comments on posts – though sometimes there is little time to do that. Today I… Continue reading

I normally don't agree with a lot Andrew Sullivan has written, but I enjoyed his essay that he contrbituted to NPR's “This, I believe” program for July 4, 2005. Titled, “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” he reminisces on the meaning of each in America.

A great quote from the Canadian Prime Minister: “We are a nation of minorities and in a nation of minorities, it is important that you don't cherry pick rights. A right is a right and that is what this vote tonight is all about,” Canadian Prime… Continue reading

I just wanted to share the thoughts of a friend of mine following the speech given by the US President tonight. I think it is one of the more insightful pieces of writing out there today.
