While not completely painless, yesterday’s repairs were successful.  The culprit was CKEditor, which has always given me compatibility issues that I could work around, until now.  In some ways, I prefer ARK, which is an improved front end for either CKEditor or TinyMCE, and I configured it for the latter.  It gives all commenters features that only administrators used to have.  However, we did lose the ability to change fonts and sizes.  I’ll look for a fix when time permits.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Daily Kos<\/a>: <\/font>Republican lawmaker Steve Scalise, who has made a career of \u201cprotecting\u201d \u201ctraditional\u201d marriage in the House, and the rest of his gay bashing caucus, can thank their lucky stars for the brave actions of same sex married Law Enforcement Officer Crystal Griner and Patrolman David Bailey, two AA Capitol Police Officers who took on the deranged gunman yesterday.<\/p>\n

And, in fairness, they did.<\/a><\/p>\n

But also in fairness, Scalise has been a leading opponent on the Hill of marriage rights for gay couples as a look at his record<\/a> shows.<\/p>\n
