How family deals with issues and teen-age children – that shouldn’t be the topic of our politics.
I will proudly wear the t-shirt that this man has promised to send me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
That's so unwise. Puts his whole unit at risk. I understand that the kid signed up and all, but now that his mom is tapped as a VP candidate, they really ought to think twice about the deployment and put the kid on duty stateside. And no one should give the kid or his family any shit about it.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Prince Harry was able to serve in Afghanistan with a press embargo on his location etc until someone (Drudge, maybe?) broke the embargo, and then they pulled him out immediately.

I love Obama. I like that he not only told people to shut up, but he kind of stood up for Bristol as well.

Go Obama. That was classy.
ION, I suck at home-computer repair. So tempted to just buy a new laptop and be done with it.

John McCain's younger son was in Iraq for a long stretch last year and this; the NYT deliberately didn't publish a photo or details, but he was there in Feb. when McCain clinched the nomination.

It all worries me. It just takes a jackass with a scoop and no brains to do some serious damage to a bunch of kids.

I think it's actually so very good that both VP candidates have kids in active duty/serving in war zone status, because it can't be said that they don't have a palpably physical connection to the conflict, which is what a great deal of the Bush Admin, particularly the ones most eagerly pushing this conflict lacked and still lack.

I'm sure that, as with Prince Harry, there is an evacuation plan. I think that he was removed just hours after the report hit.
