I already knew about Red Cross' idiotic policy of discrimination against gay men, despite the technological advances in HIV testing and all that. One question on their screening procedure that bars you from donating blood is "Have you ever had sex with a man, even once."
Well, add another level of idiocy and hypocrisy to the list. This is an organization that is collecting desperately needed blood to provide blood and plasma infusions to people in emergency rooms, in surgery, and at disast...

Gov. Mitt Romney's words as he announced that he was ceding the race for the Republican presidential nomination to Sen. John McCain, were chilling.

There were more than a hundred done in countless different styles, from traditional Mexican altars commemorating a deceased loved one, to odes to belov...
