Interesting Quote: Elizabeth Gates

For Morehouse to turn against the men that have chosen to hand over their hard-earned scholarships, loans, or family savings is unacceptable. To tell a student that his sense of self is only as good as his ability to conform is to reduce this student, and Morehouse at large, to the exact consciousness it fought so hard to defeat. To trivialize the decades of work that the institution and its dutiful student body has labored so hard to establish is to argue that Morehouse is no longer a safe place for all black male intellectuals, but rather only open to those who can tie a Windsor knot and clasp cufflinks to suit jackets. And to promote the idea that to dress the part is as important as the standard of education is to mock the legacy of empowerment Morehouse has held fast to for so many decades.
Elizabeth speaks out about the Morehouse dress code. She is a writer for The Daily Beast and daughter of Henry Louis Gates Jr., a professor at Harvard.

Liar, Liar, Hot Pants on Fire

Yesterday, The Daily Beast sent out a video claiming that gay rights leaders made a deal with senators and members of the House to not push for an end to "don’t ask, don’t tell" until later in the year.
Today, the gay rights leaders strike back. The Human Rights Campaign completely denies it, saying:
"This story is not only an outright lie, it is recklessly irresponsible. HRC never made such a deal and continues to work with congress and the administration on a full range of equality issues including a swift end to the military's shameful ban on gay servicemembers."

Well somebody's lying or got the wrong info. Whatever, we just want the truth, now!
