Sometimes, it seems like every thing I see is a candidate for an entry on this blog.
For example, I discovered the "That's Not Metal" blog.
I also read this:
"It feels like a huge burden has been lifted off your shoulders. I mean, there's not a single day that you cannot think about this policy while serving in the military. And knowing today that there's a career I have an opportunity to have where I don't have to be scared of who I am and who I love, that I can be part of the military family and I'm so excited about it. And I think every other gay person in the military feels the exact same way." -Air Force First Lieutenant Josh Seefried, founder of OutServe, on the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell
I still do not understand what someone does in the privacy of their bed has to do with anything. I don’t care what Josh Seefried does. I don’t want to know. And, frankly, while I have never been in the armed forces, my impression is that when you join the armed forces, you give up your individual identity and become part of the collective. You do not think of your own needs above the needs of your fellow soldiers. Maybe that’s too simplistic. I may never know since I do not intend to join the military.
And then I read about the Dems trying to do the same thing that the Repubs tried to do:

Flawless logic there, George.
