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.

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.)

Who is Joe Biden?

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."

But it seems to be that as a society, we are glorifying the "perks" of teenage motherhood a little much these days.

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.

When Pete Seeger was asked to sing it at the pre-inauguration concert last year he said he'd only do it if he could sing all the verses. And then he did. So much for HUAC.

Who is Joe Biden?

ahahahha thank you! That reminds me to tell you the story my aunt the Wilmington, DE nun told at dinner the other night. One of her sister Sisters was at the eye doctor a couple of weeks ago and Joe Biden came in to get new sunglasses. The receptionist asked his last name. He says, "Biden." She asks, "How do you spell that?" He tells her. She asks, "What's your first name?" He looks at her quizzically and asks, "Don't you know who I am?" (Not in a mean way. He was just boggled.)

She says, "No." He says, "Um...I'm the Vice President."

She says, "Oh, well, I'm from New Jersey."
