Palin's Daughter Is News?

Let's put today's big news flash in perspective, per my own 17-year-old daughter.

"So she's like every other teen in America?"

Naturally, being a teen, she's a bit over the top with that statement.

However, like all too many teens, whether from intact or broken homes, evangelical Christian or not, political family or not, Palin's daughter has had sex.

OK. And ummm, the point was????

Look, the girl is 17, pregnant, keeping the baby, marrying the father.

Even Christian kids have sex and gasp, get pregnant!

Nothing to see here folks, move along to the issues.

This is not even news. The media needs to get back to the issues, both international and at-home.

Not "just" another teen pregnancy in America.

At least she's going to marry the father. Now THAT might be a small splash in the news. Nothing more.

Palin's daughter is news? Really?

Again, nothing to see here.

It's not news...
