A Photo Of A U.S. Marine Passionately Kissing His Boyfriend After Coming Home From War Has Gone Viral

It's a sad day when a U.S. Marine can spend years on the front-lines protecting us from all sorts of evils and enemies and helping preserve our freedoms, then has the audacity to use some of that same freedom to express his love for another human being. Right? (Yes, I'm being sarcastic.)

Welcome home soldier.

Study: Wealthier People More Likely To Lie And Cheat Than Poorer People

Study: Wealthier people more likely to lie and cheat than poorer people

Why? Researchers say it is because the higher you rise, the more likely you are to focus on self-interest - which is not the same as the enlightened Adam Smith talked about as being a necessary component of a credible, fair capitalist system. An enlightened self-interest is about being rewarded for helping others and providing a greater good.

Time To Stop Pretending: Mitt Romney Is The GOP Presidential Nominee

Time to stop pretending on two fronts: 1) Mitt Romney is the 2012 Republican nominee in the presidential contest. It's all over 'bout the shoutin'.  2) The Tea Party-types need to stop pretending that they won't vote for Romney in November against President Obama.

Santorum's Claim That President Obama Is A 'Snob' For Pushing Higher Education Is Dangerous For Poor Whites

While getting ready for tomorrow's panel discussion at Presbyterian College here in Clinton ...

GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum said that President Obama is a "snob" for wanting "everybody" to go to college. A couple of quick observations:

President Obama never said everybody, but did say it is increasingly important for people to have a higher education - not only in four-year institutions - because the economy is changing in such a way that more than a high school education is becoming more necessary every day.

Also, one of the groups that is being left behind is the white-working class that Santorum is trying to catch the attention of. And one of the reasons they are being left behind is because too many working-class and poor whites are not getting a higher education in sufficient numbers, all the while the manufacturing jobs that once didn't even require a high school diploma - but provided a large enough livable wage to support an entire family - are quickly disappearing and won't be returning any time soon.

Santorum's message is not only wrong but dangerous for the people he says he cares so much about.
