It's here, the 250th birthday of the United States. If you're American, how do you feel about our country today? (If you're not, feel free to comment, too. Like I would leave anybody out on a day celebrating democracy.)

A long-planned gay cruise in the Mediterranean has hit a whirlpool.
Provincial officials in Turkey have denied the cruise ship permission to dock next week, citing groups on board "known for behaviors that do not align with the structure of our society and our moral values."
