...

It was, more or less, an open secret. And everyone was saying the same thing: the governor's 17-year-old daughter is pregnant, the father is her boyfriend, and it's really nobody's business beyond that.

I happen to agree.

I applaud him on his response today. I just wanted to point out that, were it one of his daughters, he would consider that grandchild punishment for a mistake.

"In the past 72 hours or so I have found myself wanting to pay a visit."

If you come, be sure to bring sweatshirts and warm pants. "Summer" this year was a cruel trick, with temps only in the 50s and 60s. 3 70-degree days made it even more bittersweet. The leaves are falling, the trees are changing colors, but you will always be welcome.

“Good heavens. This from Time Magazine? A great story. A must read. More good sense than two or three of the posters here in the forum.

Who’d of thunk it?”

“Who ‘da thunk it?” BUMP
Good article, nice to see Time choosing to step back from the edge a little.

You're welcome. I should have mentioned, too, that I found it through Hot Air (via Morissey and Allahpundit).

“...look, I’ve got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby. to not give them information.” Barack Obama 3/30/2008

But that they're hitched. When are the nuptials?

I don’t think either of them could have taken over the news cycle quite like this real hunter has.

“I don’t approve of what Obama said a few months ago, but I have to give him the thumbs up for his response to Bristol Palin’s pregnancy...”

Oh please...I hope you don’t think he really means it do you? Just look at what he did with Jack Ryan, his ex, and their son.

This is the first time in a long time that I have read a story about a small town that featured people like those I know. Usually, the media puts the focus on either the rednecks or the ‘characters’. This article puts the focus on regular people...and they come off wonderfully.

At least it won’t join the trashcan with 40 million aborted babies and a horde of post-birth infanticides

Amen!

I did. I don't understand why it ends in midsentence.

Unless an official act is involved, I leave people to their own lives; I abhor gossip rags.

In the past 72 hours or so I have found myself wanting to pay a visit.

Alaska is a wonderful place with terrific scenery and people...and really tasty halibut burgers. Go. You will love it!
