Senate blocks ban on same-sex marriage

A bid by U.S. President George W. Bush to make opposition to gay marriage an election-year issue suffered a major setback yesterday when enough members of his own party ignored his entreaties that the issue died in the Senate.
Even though Republicans control the upper chamber of Congress, they could not force a vote on an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to outlaw gay marriage . a gambit Democrats had dismissed as a political move to create an election-year wedge issue.
Also central to the Republican strategy was forcing presumed Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry and his running mate John Edwards off the campaign trail and into the Senate to vote against the amendment.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
