Senate Repeals "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," 65-31 | C-SPAN

It's time that our country finally got rid of this outdated policy. I've already seen at least one vet (via C-Span's twitter feed) raising hell about this. The oath I took when I joined in 1992 was:

“I, Arthur Metcalf, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.”

Implicit in the support and defense of that Constitution is protection of ALL Americans. No exclusions for race, gender, creed, sexual orientation, political preference, SEC football team, choice of dessert or anything else. It seemed troubling to me that some groups (of qualified, law-abiding folks) were excluded from the privilege of supporting and defending the Constitution (and our country) merely because they admitted who they were...

Happy Meals are the DEVIL!!!

OK, OK, I don't really believe that. Suing McDonald's over the Happy Meal because they "entice children" is ludicrous! If you're that concerned about your child's nutritional well-being (as parents should be), be the parent and steer clear of those old golden arches in the first place...

K-May Donuts & Coffee House is now open in Athens, AL

From Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate......

Stopped by after picking up a Papa Murphy's pizza. Even tried one before (in fact, I'm just about to) putting the pizza in the oven. Mmmm-mmm, good! I'm just glad to have a doughnut shop in Athens, AL. No website (as of yet), so I figured I'd post the menu up here. If you've got a hankering for a doughnut and you're near Athens, hit'em up...
