  There's More Here Than Meets The Eye

  Over the years of my life I have learned one thing: Girls who get pregnant and decide to keep their babies are idiots. No ifs, ands or buts about it. They are almost always brain dead. Bristol Palin may or may not be an exception. After all, look at the family within which she must live. But the brain dead part still applies. Taking into account teenage hormones and teenage rebellion, I cannot for the life of me understand why that child would chose to have sex - probably unprotected - before marriage while in that family.

  Perhaps I'm old-fashioned. I recall that in the late 70s/early 80s most girls closed their legs because their mothers had taught them that "good boys" didn't ask for otherwise. That "good boys" would only ask for that if they loved them...and that they'd better make sure that was true. So now, what is Bristol's excuse?

  I mean, when did she and her beaux find the time? Especially in such a politically charged household? My conservative, New England Catholic mother watched me like a hawk, and for precisely this reason. Where was Sarah? Where was her husband?? How did these two kids find the time???

  Well, I have a feeling a lot more is going to come out of the weeks. I have a very STRONG feeling that we're going to find out that not only Bristol but her slightly younger sisters got - GASP! - abortions at some point. Think that's too off the charts? Think again. Think of Jimmy Swaggart. Think of Ted Haggard. The walls are gonna come crumbling down.
