Ha! Thanks, amych-- ordered the car emblem and the pin. I'll probably just keep the car emblem in the house, since I like my car and would prefer not to have it keyed or the tires slashed. (The pain of living in a red corner of the state)
The pin, however, will go on the name badge I wear at writing conferences. I always put something a little subversive/startling on my badge-- tends to stand out since I'm not a big pin whore. This year at RWA National, I had a rhinestoned Elvis Stitch. Some poor newbie asked me what that was an award for and I answered with a straight face, "It's a prize for being an inveterate smart ass."
She just nodded her head and congratulated me. I know, I know... I should resist. Now I just have to think what I'll say the FSM pin is a prize for. Enlightenment, maybe?

Winner of a spaghetti sauce competition?
OMG, Bristol's husband-to-be is flying in to join the Palin family at the convention.

No doubt with a staffer at his side, instructing him in interviewing techniques ala Crash Davis instructing Nuke Laloosh.
What's the age of consent in Alaska, just for the record? And what are the applicable rules about statutory rape, while we're at it?
Age of consent in AK is 16. No SR laws are applicable at that point, but the statutory rape age difference is 3 years. You must be 18 to marry without parental consent.
Bristol's boyfriend/fiance looks and sounds like a lot of boys I grew up around, and I daresay a lot of boys in isolated small towns.
Age of consent in Alaska is 16. Everyone was legal.

This, I have to say, is just a little too much for me.
yeah, why is he FLYING in now? She's FIVE MONTHS pregnant. Being by her side was not something that just became necessary.
I hate positioning this as a strong family pulling together and kids doing right.
I wish she could give the baby up for adoption, but of course that's now impossible. I just can't help but think that's a better choice for a 17 year old who doesn't believe in abortion. But of COURSE it should be her choice to make. Not that I think it is.
