  1. Kids these days? No, adults these days and the horrors of day care. If these kids were at home with their own mommies, we wouldn’t be reading about these stories.

  2. Raindrop, don’t you ever read the “Every Child deserves a mother and father” series?

    And I’m shocked and saddened to read that you don’t support Sunday School or Vacation Bible Camp. Why do you hate Christians?

  3. The WASLC “e-mail” kerfluffle is going to come back and bite Gregoire, Chopp and Brown right in their collective asses. It’s been pretty clear, particularly in the cases of Chopp & Brown, that they were looking for any excuse to get out of moving on this piece of legislation, and this, as transparently obvious as it was was simply the best they could come up with on short-order.

    As a political move, it’s nothing but blatant hypocrisy; Boeing threatens the entire State Legislature that it’s going to pull jobs out of the state if it doesn’t get everything it wants, including the death of this bill; but the WASLC circulates an email to a few supporters in the Legislature warning of the possibility of withholding campaign contributions (something that isn’t even mentioned in the text of the law being cited as the “justification” for killing this), and suddenly these three piss their pants.

    Labor wasn’t “thrown under the bus” on this one – they were thrown under a 787…

  4. A day care owner serving up windshield wiper fluid from a bottle in her fridge could only happen in Arkansas…and parts of Oklahoma, Kentucky, Alabama, South Carolina, and Florida.

  15. Functional illiterates should not be licensed as caregivers — for children or anyone else. Nobody with the ability to read could mistake a jug of wiper fluid for a jug of kool-aid.
