Wait...WHAT?

I, along with every other American was shocked with John McCain's choice of running mate, Sarah Palin. At the very beginning, I had many objections to her. I have conveniently been able to narrow it down to two:

1. Let's face it, John McCain is old. There is a high possibility he could have major health problems while serving as president. It seems to me that the only thing the Vice President is really expected to do is to take over in those situations. I don't feel comfortable with Sarah Palin as commander-in-chief. Come on, John, even a Mormon would have been better.

2. Sarah Palin is obviously incompetent - as evidenced by the naming of her own children: Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper, and Trig. In a statement released by her press secretary, she stated that she named her first son "Track" because that's what sport season it was when he was born. I guess we can just be thankful he didn't end up being called "Baseball" or "Ice Hockey". And Bristol? Isn't that a cigarette brand?

I think Bristol is a type of shaving cream. Maybe that's part of the story about how he (or she, who knows) was conceived. It is really kind of ironic that he picked her, since he's been aiming so much negative publicity at the fact that Obama has very little experience. On the other hand, she is a University of Idaho alum, so she's got that going for her...

Oh, you are so funny. Always making me laugh. I was a little concerned that when I was listening to her speech in Ohio, I felt like I was watching a conference talk. Maybe that shouldn't concern me, but I'll admit...it really did.

Well, as we all know by now, Bristol is a female - a pregnant one.
