Something remarkable occurred in Minnesota

* Something remarkable occurred in Minnesota. On August 1, Randy Kelly, Democratic mayor of St. Paul, endorsed President Bush, urging Minnesotans to "stay the course." "The common good will be better served on the path we're on than with an abrupt change of direction, especially one paved in part with political hatred," he told the state in an announcement from his backyard.

The mayor cited an "I Hate Bush" bumper sticker he'd recently seen as evidence of this political hatred. Minnesota Democrats, of course, had a fit. Who knew an "I Hate Bush" bumper sticker could do so much good?
