Things that annoy me, chapter three

People.

Those bleeding-heart, care-bear, love-everyone, everything-is-just-peachy, ignorant people that are all commending 17-year-old Bristol Palin for keeping her unintended child and for deciding to marry her hot jock-itch fling that impregnated her.

Seriously?! Do you really think she really had a choice in the matter? Do you think HE really had a choice in the matter? Here's some dude that's banging the governor's daughter and whoops, should've pulled when instead he pushed and now he's stuck with a kid he doesn't want and now has to marry long before he's ready to. I bet those will be three lives that will be just peachy for ever after.

For fuck sake people, get your heads out of your asses and call it for what it is. A teenager from an uber-conservative family that was probably just getting it on for the mere sake of rebellion got knocked up and, facing the harsh reality of it all, is forced to either keep the kid and get married, or wreck her mother's political career. Then, to confound matters even more, out of nowhere, her mother gets asked to be nearly the most famous person in the world. Now, instead of just dealing with the situation on her own, she gets to have the whole world scrutinize her every move, possibly for the next four-plus years.

Ohh, she's so admirable. She's so strong. So brave to start a family so young. Give me a break! Whether she wanted to do it or not, she has to take the high road now or commit political homicide not only to her mother, but to the whole republican party. Could you imagine if that girl ran out and got an abortion?! And seriously, what the hell was McCain thinking when he chose her as his running mate? Who advised him on this? I can't help but wonder if he and his campaign managers just sat down with a list of as many woman politicians as they could think of and just picked the one they thought would swing as many Hillary Clinton supporters their way. And to think this election is supposed to about who has this country's best interests in mind. Fuck that, this election is about nothing more than who can become the most famous person the fastest. Do you suppose they thought this teen pregnancy thing would be a great way to get more media coverage? If they did, it worked. What better way to ramp up your celebrity status than to give the media a reason to clamor all over some pregant teen? It worked for the Spears sisters. Hell, the McCain/Palin campaign might as well hire Brittany's publicist as their PR advisor.

And to think, this duo might actually get elected.
