Right on the first guess!

ME: (Reading Fark headline): Guess who Tripp is.

MY DAUGHTER: (Ponders a moment) A Palin?

Well, technically a Johnston, but we get the point.

I suppose it could have been worse. They could have named him Trap or Trade or Trill. But not Trickle because that violates the single-syllable rule.

Anyway, congrats to the happy parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles.

And good luck with that name, kid.

Sarah Palin never released her medical history.

My bet: it contains at least one involuntary hospitalization with a diagnosis of suicidal behavior/danger to self.

We will never know.

That family must carry the "goofy names" gene.

And what does this have to do with anything?

The difference between Palin and Obama was clear: Obama saw his potential, unplanned grandchildren as "punishments"; Palin saw her son, and her grandson, as blessings.

Are you really judging someone based on a prior mental illness, a legitimate biological brain-based illness which is not a character defect or any of the other stereotypes, so are you going to judge others on diabetes and congestive heart failure, which are biological illnesses too? I suggest you get a little more educated about mental illness before opening your mouth.

Anyways, you~re not showing much character or intelligence to use mud-slinging and character attacks to discredit someone who's idealogical viewpoints you disagree with.

No, I'm not judging Palin's moral character because of her (likely) illness; I'm judging her fitness to be President.
