Kos shows us how a principled progressive can do the right thing on divisive issues. Let's hear it for Tony Knowles, the future junior Senator from Alaska. Atrios says it best:
There's one thing I think many Democrats have forgotten -- that leaders can lead.
I agree. Hopefully this will mark the beginning of the end for this intolerance movement.

We received a very rude wakeup call when the Murkowski/Murkowski took ofice.
The first thing that Murkowski did was take the human and humanity out of human services. He drastically slashed funding for the elderly and disabled programs. Now, he is eliminating them.
