Interesting conversation last night between my Mom and my Sister:
Sister: So if Trig IS Bristol's also, why does a kid get pregnant a SECOND time?
Mom: Because they took her baby the first time.
Which, yeah, makes sense. That poor kid. She's nobody's priority.
Jon Stewart last night talked about why he considers Bristol's pregnancy fair game. He and Newt Gingrich went back and forth on it a bit.
And since Stewart actually IS comedy I can see his point. And I note that he hasn't been
nasty
to Bristol. He's not calling her a slut or an idiot. He's not mocking her. It's not a tenth of what
actual
News people (and Senators) had to say about poor Chelsea. And it is arguably relevant.
I'd love to hear Keith and Rachel skewering the Republican talking points
Watch Countdown on Friday night. I suspect there will be much skewering.
Here's the TDS clip. [link]
I'm amazed at how many people on unrelated podcasts I listen to talk about going to DragonCon. None of these podcasts are about Science Fiction shows/movies or Comic Books.
Flying Spaghetti Monster was there last year too. I got a picture and was touched by (her) noodly appendage.
Iron Man also got a big laugh.
I like this graphic comment on Palin's putdown of community organizers.

When KO said "Tracy Flick" it was funny to watch the other newsguys, because it was like they heard or read the name, but couldn't place her.
I love it when he does that.
