PHOENIX — Bristol Palin, the 20-year-old daughter of Sarah Palin, has bought a five-bedroom house in Maricopa, a modest community south of Phoenix, setting off a flurry of speculation as to exactly what her plans — and those of her famous mother — are for the desert dwelling.

Why on earth would anybody move to that screwed up state, I wouldn’t so much as drive through Arizona.

[Still Thinking]

McCain lined this up. Remember; Sarah Palin is his revenge against the Bush Familia. Anyone who doesn’t get this about McCain doesn’t get the fact that he has always held a grudge about the Bushies treatment of him in 2000. He’s going to screw Jeb over if it’s the last thing he does. One of the reasons he picked Palin was because she was an anti-Establishment Republican. Now Palin is running through the Bush family’s planning for 2016 like a bull in a China closet and McCain can’t get enough of it.

If you're right, it would mean that Juan "Lettuce" McBackstabbinganklegrabbingrino is good for more than ramming a stick up his ass and using him for a dust mop. I'm open minded on the issue but remain unconvinced.

[Still Thinking]

At least the AZ Senators didn’t vote for START or DADT.

Their votes weren't needed. I'd be more impressed if these guys voted that way if the good guys won those by a vote or two. (Directed more at McShame than Kyl. Kyl, until recently was pretty conservative, so I'm cutting him a LITTLE slack till he gets his meds back in balance)

Thank you.

Little thing called responsibility is why. Why should he not be responsible for his son?

[Still Thinking]

Normally, child support is based on both parents’ income. If he made millions after breaking up with her, she could have that taken into account and the amount adjusted.

[porter_knorr]

so he should pay nothing, because she made money on one show?

[Still Thinking]

If it turns out to be a steady gig for her, no, probably not. If your ex was making ten times what you were, would you expect to pay her child support? If you had the kids and were making ten times what she was, would you expect her to pay you?

If it’s a one time or short term deal for her, I agree with you, ignore it, at least past this year.

“Good Morning America” had an interview with one of Bristol’s new black neighbors.

The man was interviewed in front of his home. He seemed surprised by the news that Bristol Palin was going to be his new neighbor. He admitted he was a democrat, but he also said that if Bristol needed anything, he would be happy to help her. He seemed like a decent guy.

I agree. Sarah Palin is thinking ahead! Great strategist.
