If Bristol Palin is celebrated for having a baby out of wedlock, what does my black ass get for not having one?

And I am so serious.

Why isn’t anyone calling me to explain to teenagers how to make it to 20 without a baby?  Where the hell is my accolade?

Because I have no soul, I hope the whorish producers of ‘Dateline’ ante up some dough for Levi Johnston to tell his side of the story.

Maybe Levi will write a book and appear on Oprah too?   That would be delicious.

And remember kids, out of wedlock babies are only okay if you are ….

1. White

2. Republican

So don’t forget your birth control if you ain’t either!

Whenever I watch Big Love, I always think of how most men would welcome polygamy in their lives.  I consulted my bf and he said hell no, he wouldn’t want more than one wife.  (He probably doesn’t want any wife!)  I only considered the fringe benefits of men having sex with a different woman when they felt like it and completely forgot about  the emotional reality of negotiating all those different personalities. Thank you HBO for enlightening my limited arse.

It’s stupid how this song makes me feel good everytime I hear it.

People Magazine on Sarah Palin:

Bristol was also quoted in the statement from the governor’s office, saying “Teenagers need to prevent pregnancy to begin with–this isn’t ideal.  But I’m fortunate to have a supportive family. The careful cobbling of sentiments reflected the awkward lin Palin has walked as an advocate of premarital abstinence and limited sex education, an oppeonent of abortion and a mother of an unwed teenaged parent.

You almost feel sorry for Sarah Palin that she’s carping about her lousy treatment at the hands of Katie Couric, Tina Fey and John McCain’s handlers while ignoring that she espouses policies  that her own family proves doesn’t work.

Almost.

What I wouldn’t give to see Sarah Palin discuss becoming a grandmother.

I hope her abstinence loving self is feeling humiliated and shamed that her daughter is having a baby before she gets her high school diploma.

My feeling about hardcore Christian right believers  like Palin who love telling the rest of us how to best live our lives …
is that there’s no spinning having a baby out of wedlock, because if it’s indicative of social decay when a poor and/or minority does it…
then it’s social decay when it happens to the  Sarah Palins of the world too.

(And it’s not good news if your future son-in-law’s mother for felony drug charges.)

Yeah, I would love to see Sarah Palin discuss this topic  in an interview. 

Is Bristol Palin negotiating with OK magazine to do an interview after the election?

I have no proof but something in my gut says this is a possibility.
