Where the 'sex education in kindergarten' thing came from -

LFRAgain -

Sorry, but I think you've taken a rather tiny molehill and turned it into a very craggy and unscalable mountain.

Nowhere did I say that people who choose surrogacy as a way of building a family are selfish, malicious or heartless bastards responsible for overflowing orphanages, or that…

If the Japanese staff at the onsen couldn't explain the 'complicated' check-in procedures to a group of Chinese (who can read Japanese kanji quite easily), then they didn't need a Chinese interpreter. They needed people-skills instruction.

Palin did not mentioned the trip during an interview last week with ABC News because she wanted to verify the facts
