Congrats on the birth, Governor, and I am glad you choose to give the kid a chance. However...

The Palins have four other children including Track, 18, Bristol, 17, Willow, 13 and Piper, 7

And now Trig. I am confusitated...

Anyone who knows the family understands that there was never any pressure for the governor to abort this child.

How do you know that? I would be willing to bet that her doctor was the first to advise terminating the fetus.

I'm getting old.

So naturally I'll suck more every day.

Prepare for the future, when my suckiosity knows no limits.

A woman over 35 gets quite a bit of pressure for invasive genetic testing and ultrasound tests to detect Down's Syndrome, the assumption being that she'll have an abortion if they find it. Since most women have so few babies, there is a lot of incentive to only have perfect ones and to discard the rest. And quite a bit of this is due to encouraging women to wait until their late 30s or 40s to have children, when they only have time for one or two and the risk of Down's Syndrome and other genetic problems skyrockets.

I agree - Laz's stuff is usually pretty funny.
Sometimes, though, you have to realize that even though you think you have a pretty good pun lined up --- given the topic its best to back away from the keyboard...
We've all hit the 'Enter' key a wee bit too soon at times.

Sorry (sort of) for raining on the parade, but how does a woman find time to be mother to an infant and governor simultaneously? Doesn’t compute with me. Not that it’s really any of my business.

How does a man have time to be a father and have a career at the same time?

A good Staff!! I bet she is also good at time management.
She probably limits meetings to less than a hour which is not a bad thing newborn or not.

In my experience, just about any meeting that takes more than an hour is a counterproductive waste of time.
