Pregnant? huh? Governor Palin's daughter is pregnant. Which - according to this Washington Post Article (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/01/AR2008090100710_2.html?sid=ST2008090101074&s_pos=) is perfectly ok if you come from a "good"family. The latent racism in this article is just apalling. When a conservative, white girl from Alaska has an "accidental pregnancy," it's a by-product or oversight. But, when it's a black, poor girl, she's from a bad family, destined for welfare, etc. It's a hot mess...nuff said.
