New Jersey may soon allow gays and lesbians to marry.

Here's my question…

Why would a gay guy want to marry a lesbian?

Senator Kerry clearly owes an apology to our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines serving in Iraq. But Mr. Kerry has refused to do so. Instead, he’s claiming that Republicans are “desperately distorting” his comments. Watch the video yourself … it is perfectly clear what Mr. Kerry said … what’s unclear is whether Mr. Kerry ever means what he says. Perhaps he was against his comments before he actually made them.

Yesterday, in California, John Kerry made a comment that cannot, and should not be ignored.

Today, he says it was a "botched joke".

The only botched joke was the fact that the people of Massachusetts have been snowed year after year while he remains in office.

Sen. John McCain, a former prisoner of war and respected veteran, has called on him to apologize.

The White House has called on him to apologize.

The American Legion, the largest veteran's service organization in the country, has called on him to apologize.

AMVETS, another organization of military veterans, has called on him to apologize.

Michelle Malkin has posted emails from several people, including former members of the military and their relatives, all of whom criticize Mr. Kerry for his comments.

Vets for Freedom, America’s largest nonpartisan organization representing the active duty troops and veterans of the War on Terror, has called on him to apologize.

Yet today, at a press conference, John Kerry refused to apologize for his remarks. (Emphasis mine).

“Let me make it crystal clear, as crystal clear as I know how,” Kerry said. “I apologize to no one for my criticism of the President and his broken policy. If anyone owes our troops in the fields an apology, it is the president and his failed team.”

Many people may think going into Iraq was a mistake, but claiming that the only people who end up fighting there are the "uneducated ones" is utter B.S.

Not only did he not apologize, but he also insinuated that the criticism being directed at him for these comments is nothing but a play from the "GOP playbook".

“This is the classic GOP playbook,” Kerry said in the harshly worded statement. “I’m not going to be lectured by a stuffed suit White House mouthpiece standing behind a podium.”

The GOP Playbook? Do they really need one? John Kerry unfurls his tongue and walks all over it, all by himself. The GOP doesn't need to "play" anything, except the recordings of him opening his own mouth.

Don't expect Kerry to apologize either. To anyone. Since he believes the GOP is behind the calls for his apology, it just isn't going to happen.

John Kerry is a schmuck. He always has been. He represents the very best that the Democratic Party has to offer. If anyone steps up and represents Democrats, it's John Kerry.

Remember that next Tuesday when you cast your vote.

Folk artist Mose Tolliver, whose self-portraits and vivid images of nature and the female form, done in humble house paint, made him one of the leaders of the modern-day "outsider art" movement, has died. He was 82.

The self-taught artist, who signed his work Mose T, died of pneumonia Monday at Baptist Medical Center East after years of declining health, family members said

Rest In Peace, Mose.
