She was on that ABC Family teen pregnancy show as well.

Was the lesson, don't get pregnant unless it'll make you famous?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

She's got good representation. Whomever is taking care of the Palins is a champ. Wish they'd sign me.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

This just makes me roll my eyes forever.

Teenage pregnancy happens, and I want to be clear that I'm not demonizing the girls - shit happens. If it didn't I wouldn't be here.

But it seems to be that as a society, we are glorifying the "perks" of teenage motherhood a little much these days. Forget the pregnancy - follow those girls around when they're 22 and struggle every single day to finish school/work/pay bills/care for a child/have a life/get some actual sleep. Instead of all the BS they actually show.

Always Anti-fascist!

I was just looking at the lyrics for "This Land Is Your Land" not that long ago(for fanfic, probably) and I think there a Reasons why I did not learn all the words growing up in Arizona. Not to get all Glenn Beck and shit. Mom didn't mention it. I guess she didn't want to be the lefty version of my dad who heard me say it was cool that China had "People" in their name, flipped out and told me horrible stories about Communists. Nice quality time, Dad. But I guess in his mind he was counteracting my mother's influence or something. Too bad he would have had to do that at least 3 million more times.

Ann, that's a ferret.

She was big national name during the campaign and daughter of one of the biggest media and political figures of the time, it doesn't at all seem odd to me she'd be considered a celebrity.

I don't know. I had to look up on Wikipedia how many children Joe Biden has, never mind their names. (Okay, except Beau, but he has a political career in his own right.)

Whoever their publicist is, I sort of wish it was Shauna from Entourage. They are overdue some Debi Mazar in their lives. "Look, kid, when it comes to this shit, I'm the frigging Vice President, okay? So just do what I tell you and stop threatening to sic your mommy on me."

I agree with you that Bristol Palin who entered the limelight by getting knocked up makes sense as a teen pregnancy prevention advocate like having someone who hit the jackpot in Vegas advocating against gambling addiction.

Besides she doesn't know anything. Not that that stopped her mother either, but shouldn't they get for-real examples or something. Bristol's story makes the Gilmore Girls look like a David Simon documentary.
