Only a couple days on the ticket and Sarah already has jumped on the shame train. Bristol &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Palin&lt;/span&gt;, 17 year old daughter of Vice Presidential Candidate, Sarah &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;Palin&lt;/span&gt; is fucking pregnant and is keeping the little mistake AND is forcing the little shit of a father (who has yet to be named in any AP release) to MARRY into the family. That's an awesome setup for that kid. I mean he has to keep a kid but gets incredible amounts of money and might possibly be the son-in-law of the Vice President of the United States of America.

June 18&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt;, 2008 The White House sent out a press release in accordance with an Iraqi OK (I mean have they ever said no? They're like &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;bobble heads&lt;/span&gt;) to state the same thing in different words; hence the word play in the aforementioned paragraph.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="inner"&gt;"In the area of security cooperation, the president and the prime minister agreed that improving conditions should allow for the agreements now under negotiation to include a general time horizon for meeting aspirational goals,''&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/08/20/iraq.us.troops/index.html"&gt;They said the troop &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;withdrawal&lt;/span&gt; would occur in 2010 today.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which, lucky for our returning troops, gives them two years before the The &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesoamerican_Long_Count_calendar" title="Mesoamerican Long Count calendar"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Mesoamerican&lt;/span&gt; Long Count calendar&lt;/a&gt; is said to tick its final &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;tock&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey two years is better than one. And last time we were given a troop pullout estimation by the White House (e.g. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Afghanistan&lt;/span&gt;) it turned into another war (i.e. Iraq).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But don't worry my fellow Americans...&lt;br /&gt;As much as this seems real... It probably isn't.&lt;br /&gt;And as much as it feels as though your loved ones will not be able return... there are always reinforcements&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if you think that this is the first piece of legitimate proof that we can preform a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;successful&lt;/span&gt; pullout...

Such insanity; the debilitating and horror stricken faces of 3 young boys that just wanted to go to high school, now have their cocks force fed through leather pants and into the eyes and ears of sexually repressed Christian girls from the Mid-West.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh the brutality of child labor!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such impertinent woe!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet a spectacle none-the-less...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Something for us to point at and question.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exhibit C: Bigfoot&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All I can say is how badly I wished all DNA tests would come back positive. A new species of animal. I said to my friend Phil last night that it would help me to believe in so much more. Aliens, God, Sea Monsters, all things &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;frivolous&lt;/span&gt; would open up as possibly &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;viable&lt;/span&gt;.

I ask that you not feign digression. For they are both &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;spectacles&lt;/span&gt; with a future ridden in latent enrichment, they both are timepieces of foresight. A form of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;fictitious&lt;/span&gt; prudence.
