The Briz finally had her baby. The little boy, named Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston, was born on Sunday. He weighed 7 lbs and 4 oz.
Bristol and her fiance are both 18, so technically it’s not as bad as the whole Jamie Lynn Spears sitch (she was 16 when she got knocked up), but the teens [...]

Bristol Palin surprised liberals and conservatives when it was confirmed she was pregnant, especially since her mother, Sarah Palin was running for vice-president on a “family values” platform.

When my friend Alli was moving to Richmond, I helped her. While she got everything ready, there was no cable. So I did what I always do when I have no TV: I bought a thick book.
That’s how I finally started the Twilight series.
Yes, I am admitting I read the first three Twilight books [...]

Are you freaking serious???
Sarah Palin misquoted Madeline Albright to insult women who aren’t voting for her.
According to the Huffington Post, the actual quote on the Starbucks cup is “There is a special place in hell for women that don’t help other women.” Big difference, Sarah.

People have been buzzing about Bristol Palin’s pregnancy and I must admit, I can understand why. However, the judgmentalness coming with the buzz is what I have a problem with. The reason that in this country we never seem to be able to have a discussion about anything is because we are too worried about [...]
Worthy Quote: Jeneau Empire Editorial
Posted by: BookGirl on: September 1, 2008
“Abstinence may be a laudable goal, but failing to educate teenagers about how to protect themselves from disease or unintended pregnancy is tragically misguided. According to the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, abstinence-only programs do not reduce sexual activity, teen pregnancy or sexually transmitted disease. Every day 10,000 U.S. teens contract a sexually transmitted [...]
