Thanks. I did get it put up.
He looks sincere (I'm so naive), and it would be just the kind of thing Sarah would tuck away in a dark closet somewhere. If it's true, it needs to go viral!

You might even say he seems nice and clean and articulate...
Really guys? He doesn't even pronounce Bristol's last name correctly. Come on.

That sounds like a crock.
He pronounces the name Ms. Pawlin.
If he were around Bristol, wouldn't he know how to pronounce her last name correctly.

Well, people who have known me for years still have trouble pronouncing my name, so I don't know about the mispronunciation.
Like I said, though, I'm naive. I admit it.

This popped up within days of the announcement that Bristol was knocked up. It's been viral for weeks.
No one's really taken it seriously and only time will tell regarding it's veracity. I'm thinking hoax.
Ultimately, why would it matter who the father is? If true, the consequences for Bristol are the same. If false, it's race-baiting nonsense. The only reason one could given for a black father being more egregious than a white father is the black part.
Do we really need to go there?

Go to the census reality: How many African-Americans are there in Alaska?
