“The theme for tonight’s Republican convention is, ‘Who is John McCain’ … Tomorrow night’s theme is, ‘Who forgot to check if the vice president’s daughter is pregnant?”‘

    I completely agree with Obama’s comment about this: family is off limits, children are even more off limits, I have no comment as it’s none of my business.

    While I would tend to agree that family is off-limits, I do find that Sarah Palin’s seventeen-year-old’s daughter’s pregnancy illustrates almost perfectly that Sarah Palin’s (and the conservatives’ in general) advocacy of abstinence-only sex education is highly out of touch with reality. No doubt this is only the tip of the iceberg — the Republican ticket is out of touch with reality on numerous other issues as well. The economy comes to my mind first.

    A: I have no idea what sex education her daughter did or did not receive, so I’m not certain that I would use her for such an example. That said, I’m not disagreeing with you on the general point. 🙂

    Also, related to another comment, I find Eli Stone to be quite enjoyable as well. *smile*

    I will tell you this, shit happens, as much as we would like it not to happen to our own family, its everyday occurance. I know though the first time that you throw those stones it will just loop around and wack you right back. I am living proof. So really on a political matter that actually should not matter, it is just LIFES LESSONS….Just my opinion.
