Incoming Flip-Flop! By The MinuteMan Mickey Kaus tips us to a Bold Moment in the Kerry campaign - Tall John left a courtship meeting with some Hispanic activists and promptly got on Telemundo to announce that he opposed driver's licenses for illegal immigrants. Michelle Malkin sees a Sister Souljah moment; I say, start the flip-flop countdown. MORE: Hmm, did I cheat, and isn't the flip-flop contained in the story? Here we go: Kerry spokesman David Wade said Wednesday that Kerry thinks it is a state responsibility to decide who gets a driver's license. Wade said Kerry would not support any federal efforts to stop states from giving them to illegal immigrants. So, Kerry has an opinion but no intention of turning that opinion into law. Leadership that's shirking! Run That By Me Again... By The MinuteMan The WaPo informs us that chemicals were not found, except where they were found: Chemicals Not Found in Iraq Warheads Sixteen rocket warheads found last week in south-central Iraq by Polish troops did not contain deadly chemicals, a coalition spokesman said yesterday... Skip to third paragraph: ...Yesterday's coalition release also said that two other 122-milimeter rounds, found by the Poles on June 16 with help from an Iraqi informer, tested positive for small quantities of sarin but were "so deteriorated" that they would have had "limited to no impact if used by insurgents against coalition forces." What part of "not found" don't I understand? justoneminute.typepad.com

I don't remember you saying that, or we wouldn't have had this go around. LOL. You know, we were twenty-some posts into the discussion before you focused on gay marriage in any way that was visible to me. Your post: <<No, what we do is not make it worse. As they did in Norway and Sweden.>> Message 20262655 The first twenty posts I was arguing about whether marriage was essential for raising kids. I thought you were, too. It started here with my post: <<Did he provide a good explanation of how marriage is essential for that? I'll bet he didn't. Because it isn't.>> Just as soon as I realized why you weren't being responsive, I immediately ended the colloquy by recognizing that if you weren't trying to solve the problem of raising kids in stable, two parent households, only "contain" it, then I took your point about gay marriage. I was always a "stick together for the kids" type. As a side note, my parents stuck together, too. They didn't speak to each other for a good half of my life at home. I had to play the go-between. "Karen, please tell your mother..." Karen, please tell your father..." LOL. I don't agree. Marriage nowadays has next to nothing to do with raising kids. Most marriages don't have any. And we're getting to the point where most kids don't have married parents. Next to nothing.
