Pregnant Teens Have to Do With the Election?
Ok so this stuff about Sarah Palin’s daughter is getting ridiculous. I mean don’t get me wrong, I don’t want her, or McCain elected, but I’m not making my decision about her daughter. 
Perez Hilton, on his website, PerezHilton.com, has posted a lot about her, but I agree with a recent post that he stole from Lindsay Lohan’s Myspace. In the blog, she also complains about the coverage, and how easily the issue of her daughter’s pregnancy outgrew the news of her actual plans if she becomes VP. Her blog also quotes Barrack Obama, who stated: ‘”I think people’s families are off-limits, and people’s children are especially off-limits. This shouldn’t be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin’s performance as governor or her potential performance as a vice president.”‘ I see his point is this due to the fact that although she has been chosen for a week, I don’t know anything about her. Oh, forgive me, I do know that her daughter is pregnant, has posted pictures of herself drinking on-line, and that Diddy is accusing her homeland of Alaska as being racist as a whole. Now, media, please, educate me on her views on the War in Iraq, the economy, and social issues, I beg of you! Stop spreading all this useless information, then accuse the public of not voting enough, when we are doing our duty by not voting when we are uneducated about the thing we are voting for. I feel like the information on your candidate’s opponent is crucial to your knowing that you chose the right person based on the compatibility of your beliefs.
Anyways keep it licious

***UPDATE***
seconds after posting this blog, I go back to Perez and see that Sarah Palin is on the cover of US Weekly! Should like Brangelina or Britney be on there? Not a Vice Presidential hopeful!?!?
I totally agree with this idea, because I deeply think that medias have better to do than chatting about a teenager’s pregnancy just because she is the daughter of a candidate to vice presidency of the United States.
In fact, teenage pregnancy happens to a lot of young ladies, it’s not the first time we hear about this news all over the US, and more generally all over the world. Actually, in the country where I’m from, i.e. France, a lot of teenagers are also “touched by this outbreak” , and even more if we make the proportion, comparing to the US.
However, that is not a valid reason to make about this subject a serious case in which everybody has to know about it, as if it was a huge defect that you have to get rid of immediately.
Indeed, French people are interested about it (who isn’t ?), but in an other way, like for example making serious TV shows about it, and try to really understand what happens in teenagers’ minds, and how to anticipate it for years to come. This french behavior may actually exist because of our vision less conservative of seeing things, anyway very different from the vision of the US by american people (without wanting to offend anyone)!
Finally, if even Sarah Palin, the most conservative and puritan politician that I have ever known made a deal about that, who can’t ?
