By STEVEN A. HOLMES
Published: July 5, 2008

Jesse Helms, the former North Carolina senator whose courtly manner and mossy drawl barely masked a hard-edged conservatism that opposed civil rights, gay rights, foreign aid and modern art, died early Friday. He was 86.

No Gay Men In Iran?

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iranian authorities have approved a plan for concerts by an Iranian pop group and singer Chris de Burgh in Tehran, the group's manager said on Saturday.

The concerts, set for the middle of next year, would be the first time since the 1979 revolution that an Iranian pop band had played alongside a Western singer inside the Islamic Republic, Arian's manager Mohsen Rajabpour said.

Larry Craig a Homo? I Just Don't See It

High fives everybody!!!  High Fives!!!

From The Hill, 2006:

American Idol,  Senate style

Sens. Trent Lott (R-Miss.) and Larry Craig (R-Idaho) aren’t quite Jake and Elwood Blues, but they’re putting the band back together, and given their conservative credentials, they might think they’re on a mission from God.

Well, not exactly a band, it’s actually a barbershop quartet, which is just as cool as a blues band — at least that’s what someone needs to tell Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.)...

...Lott and Craig are auditioning for new singing partners and they’ve found two solid prospects in Sen. Bob Bennett (R-Utah) and Thune.

...“Senator Thune has a lovely tenor voice,” said Craig, who also sings tenor. “And Senator Bennett has a good baritone.”

“Bob wants to do it,” said Craig, 61. “It’s Thune who doesn’t know. He thinks it’s a little hokey. He asked if senators do this sort of thing.”

“I said yes,” said Craig, who has advised his colleague to relax and live a little. “You’ve got to let your hair down and enjoy it.”
