from Katie the Couric.
That'll teach her.

Katie Couric, whose real name is Katherine Anne Couric, mocked the names of Sarah Palin’s children during a rehearsal in her studio. Her comments, made during the 2008 presidential campaign, are being discussed in the blogosphere today after being leaked.
“Where the hell do they get these names from?” she asked, referring to Palin children Trig and Track, sending her crew into peals of laughter.
I have some new names for CBS. In a tragedy in Louisiana this Monday, six young teenagers drowned.
Their names were: Takeitha, JaMarcus, JaTavious, Litrelle, LaDairus and Latevin.
These, like the names of Palin’s children, are American names.
Times have changed since Jews newly arrived from Europe named their boys either Marty or Bernie and black people in the South named their kids either Bessy or Washington. You don’t really want to go into things like where the hell a name like Katherine got a K on the front of it instead of a C, as it was spelled in the tradition. The neurosis could drag all the way back to Prague, say, in the 1600s.
The singular feature of America that persists west of 57th Street, where “Katie” and CBS live in paralysis, acting out an early-’60s fantasy equal to that of “Mad Men,” is that we Americans are born free and find and take that freedom in every generation.
In terms anthropologists like Mircea Eliade and Sir James George Fraser would use, you could say we chop down the father’s tree in every generation; an archetypal reenactment of George Washington chopping down the cherry tree to free us from our pasts — European, personal and otherwise — and their anchors to the prisons of orthodoxy and tradition.
In this regard we plant our own tree and we take our own names. It is sacred and symbolic. And in this sacred act we name our kids any damn thing we please.
Couric is beginning to look like an old bag...and she sounds pretty lame and stupid too in the Youtube raw footage. Time for her to hit the streets.
WOW! The disgruntled Catholics come out swinging, in an apparently obvious fit of "What would Jesus do"?
Typical Catholics; pious in name only. Hypocrites. Thank you for showing your true devotion to Jesus with your venom.
By their works shall you know them.

It'll go right over his head.
Let's give the Perkster another reason to go into mourning again . . . . . . say, November 3rd when conservatives take control of all or part of the Congress!!!
“I stopped after...”

So your ignorance is self-imposed? that’s not ignorance, it’s hubris.

You can call me Ray or you can call me Jay or you can call me Sonny.... but you doesnt has to call me Johnson.
That'll teach her.
LOL. Yep.
“Jealousy!.....night and day you torture me!....”
And, one that can't easily be mocked by grade school classmates. And, one that doesn't have any negative bearers among people you know (like adolf)... it gets difficult, you are correct !
We ended up using classic names that aren't used frequenly today: Jane being my favorite. There aren't many young girls named Jane out there, though she has met lots of nice old ladies with that name.
ROFL! CLEVER!
He’d start by calling people Dipwads, then he’d round up a few of His Disciples; Peter, James, Matthew, Shaneequa, and Thomas, and log on to FR to bash the Church that He created even though it's not germain to the discussion.
How’s that?
Why don’t you go to work with your friends like Miss Couric for CBS “news”? Then your family would watch you regularly and that alone would double their ratings.
Piper Laurie (born Rosetta Jacobs, January 22, 1932) is an American actress of stage and screen best known for her roles in the television series Twin Peaks and the films The Hustler and Carrie, both of which brought her Academy Award nominations.
Piper was born in Detroit, Michigan, to Jewish parents, Charlotte Sadie Alperin and Alfred Jacobs, a furniture dealer. Her father was a Polish immigrant, and her mother is Russian-American. She moved to Los Angeles before she was 18. She signed a contract with Universal Studios when she was 17, co-starring with Ronald Reagan (whom she dated a couple of times before his marriage to Nancy Davis) in “Louisa.”

Oh, I get it now. You hold a grudge against Sarah because she left your beloved Roman Catholic church and you’ve never forgiven her... and you use that grudge to bring up the canard about Sarah “quitting” the governor’s office because she can’t take it and is just a “quitter”. You’re the one who said that Sarah was the one whining about Katie’s immature behavior when Sarah did no such thing! You have blatantly lied about Sarah and you sound just like a plant from DU.
El Salvador has a list of illegal names. For instance you can’t name your second child “Segundo” (second) even though lots of people are named that including the murdered priest Segundo Montes. Another illegal name is “Tonto” because in Salvadoran slang it means stupid.
Agreed.
TY :)
