President Obama is honoring Michael Sam, who on Saturday became the first openly gay player to be drafted by a pro football team after the St. Louis Rams picked him in the seventh round. "The President congratulates Michael Sam, the Rams and the NFL for taking an important step forward in our Nation's journey," said a White House statement. "From the playing field to the corporate boardroom, LGBT Americans prove everyday that you should be judged by what you do and not who you are," said the White House of Sam, an award-winning defense end who played at the University of Missouri.The Teabagistanis are not happy about this.

Keep a Carefree Heart | May 11, 2014
Just practice according to the methods taught by the Buddha and do not worry about being a success. The Heart Sutra
says, ‘there is no wisdom and no attainment.’ Although practice may be
trying, even physically painful, if your heart is carefree, nothing will
bother you.
