So there are now two pregnancies that are being scrutinized by the National
Spotlight that _is_ the status-quo for U.S. Presidential politics.  Please
allow me to interject a bit of Gen-X/Gen-Y _reason_ into this discussion.

Children are a blessing.  Anyone getting wound up about this perfectly
natural act -- for any reason -- need to take a hard look in the mirror.

In a nutshell:  the "Juno Generation" doesn't give a fig what the "McCain
Generation" think about children.  The ridiculous lies expressed by the
"McCain Generation" regarding young adults having sex, or having children,
only underline the harmful dysfunctions of that tightie-rightie generation.

Today's young women and young men regard the "covering up" and "white lies"
of those dysfunctions with rolling eyes, and the exasperated attitude of
"you've got to be kidding me."

Let's cut the crap.

Yesterday, netroots conversation was regarding one pregnancy, which resulted
in a new human life, a baby named "Trig".  Why the (alleged) mother chose to
bring Trig's circumstances into the Presidential politics arena, is a matter
for her own conscience...but that is what she did.

But the circumstances regarding Trig Paxson Van Palin's birth have raised
questions.  Did the (alleged) mother _really_, upon her water breaking:
give a speech, fly to Seattle for a layover, fly to Alaska, then drive for
45 minutes to have her (premature) baby be born in a relatively "podunk"
medical facility?  _Really_?

And so today, we learn that Ms. Bristol Palin is expecting...congratulations
to her and her family!  Remember that the "Juno Generation" really thinks
the "McCain Generation" -- with all their dysfunctions -- should just go
soak their heads.

But now, we know that Ms. Bristol and her fiance are known, without a doubt,
to become pregnant with child, in circumstances that the archaic "McCain
Generation" would refer to as "out of wedlock". (This phrase would seem to
be passing into obscurity...thankfully.) The "Juno Generation" thinks it's
laughable to even use such a phrase...but mention this around someone
from the McCain Generation, and you will be met with discomfort, if not
worse.

Now I will tell you my suspicion, and why this should be investigated.  I
think it's time for the "Juno Generation" to stand tall and tell these
asinine people, with their misguided so-called quote "family values", that
their time is at an end.  Yes, we want to keep teen pregnancy down -- but
should a teenager become pregnant, the "Juno Generation" regards this as
"children are a blessing".  They wonder why their parents are yelling like
crazy people (unless they are lucky enough to have the sort of parents that
Juno did in that movie).

Do you see what we're dealing with?  These misguided "family values" of the
McCain yells-at-clouds generation sometimes regard children as an
embarrassment.  I submit to you that in many of those "embarrassing cases"
(as regarded by these dysfunctional dunderheads) should be celebrated -- not
squirrelled away and hidden.  I daresay this is the view of the "Juno
Generation".

With this in mind, my suspicion is that Sarah Palin's story of giving a
speech, and travelling to Alaska, after her water had broke -- a "premie"
birth, at that! -- is a story that defies credulity.  Frankly, it sounds
like a lie...a "white lie", some may say, but a lie nonetheless.

Even considering that story as "true" has it's problems -- it sounds
reckless.  But not as reckless as Sarah's expressions regarding Trig, and
their political ramifications.

But, given the uncertainty of certain photographs -- coupled with this
cock-and-bull story regarding Trig's birth -- I hope you will forgive me for
suspecting that Sarah is not Trig's mother.  The only reason this is a quote
"problem" unquote, would be the old-fashioned, archaic, dysfunctional, and
_foolish_ ideas from the "McCain Generation" -- and the absolute hypocrisy
of those who think a "perfect nuclear family" even exists at all (and much
less when the mother/grandmother happens to be the governor of Alaska.).

But above all, there is no "shame" in either of these children...and if you
think otherwise:  the "Juno Generation", as well as my generation, hope that
you all die off soon, so that we can have a _rational_ society, where people
can tell the _truth_ about their situations without the overbearing "Govermoms"
of the world working their dysfunctional machinations for misguided, archaic reasons.
