Opinion: Why gay role models matter

We need a lot more gay role models. They could teach us all to learn to smile and look on the bright side of everything. Too many people go through life unhappy. We all need to learn to live a gay lifestyle. Be happy, smile, cheer up, be gay, be optimistic. Be gay in all of your business details. Be gay in all of your relationships. Be gay when dealing with rush hour traffic in a construction zone. Be gay, even when your car breaks down. Be gay and thankful when things go right. Be gay and hopeful when they go wrong. If you are married, may your marriage be a gay one. Be a gay role model for those who feel blue. You may help them feel gay too.

Oklahoma City tornado sparks discussion of building code standards at Lawrence City Hall

Such a bill might not pass (neither at the state or fed level), but governments do often print instructional bulletins and handbills (ie WW II posters). Perhaps something like "always check for basements or shelters when deciding where to rent/live".

The ironic thing is Hoch was scheduled to be fitted with lightning rods just a few days after the lightning bolt struck.

Local organizations aim to support tornado victims

appleaday:

I am certainly not opposed to reinforcing the New Orleans Levees. I do think that this should be a separate bill from the Sandy relief however. Then the Sandy relief could be fast-tracked with minimal debate.

Although the levees are important, time would permit that bill to be edited and rewritten a few times to modify the fine details.

My comment was in response to a good comment that got removed. Polite suggestion for LJW...would there be a way for the editor to just remove the one bad word in an otherwise excellent comment?

Crews race to find survivors of Oklahoma twister

That bill had a huge amount of pork, and a very small amount of funding dedicated to Sandy. That is why it was vetoed. It was relief bill in name alone. Likewise, if the Republicans bring their own pork laden bill with very little funding for Oklahoma, it should be vetoed as well, regardless of what they call it.

Relief, not pork please.

I wonder if this LTE writer got weeded out of Journalism School for being a blooming yellow journalist.
