Sometimes I wish the media would bite it's collective
tongue so we could see just how far a politician would take a misappropriated
metaphor. Even better, someone should have shared the rest of Langston Hughes'
poem with Rick Santorum but not tell him the source. Maybe the man who's name shall not be
Googled would have borrowed even more from the poem written by
the possible homosexual and well-known Communist, Langston Hughes.

That's beautiful. Totally wish Santorum had gotten a chance to really put that ... uh ... "out" there.
(And I've hacked the code a bit to change & behavior, hopefully this is closer to the intent)

The unicode was rendering as I expected in Chrome 11.0.696.60 on Windows.

There was an intermediate stage where it was showing up as ❤ because my escape code didn't know what to do with hex entities.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
