Funny how if I say a kid with "two mommies" is going to have issues, Im a homophobe and hater and all that sh--, but you can make such comments free and clear.

Better than meth...

I believe the Palin in-laws-to-be prefer Hillbilly Heroin. As to the Palins, I believe they have some sort of natural chemical thing going on that keeps them out there in their own private Idaho.

 

Ho. Ho. Ho.

Bristol Palin, the teenage daughter of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, is going on the record about the recent birth of her son, Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston.

 

In a statement dated Wednesday but posted on the Alaska governor's Web site Friday, Bristol says the pregnancy was "not ideal," but is thankful to have a family who supported her.

 

“Teenagers need to prevent pregnancy to begin with – this isn’t ideal. But I’m fortunate to have a supportive family which is dealing with this together," Bristol Palin said in the statement.

So is she advocating birth control for teens? And given it's posted on the Alaska governor's website, is this an endorsement of such policy by the Alaskan governor?

I am sure you have first hand knowledge of situations like this :cry:

Actually, she was just denying she was ever really pregnant, just like her mom just denies inarguably true stuff, like after the troopergate verdict. I just assume that what she meant by the pregnancy being "not ideal", that it was an immaculate conception, but unfortunately Tripp did not turn out to be the Son of God.

I just saw where John Travolta's son Jett died.

That's a deep sadness.

John, his wife Kelly and their daughter Ella Bleu have suffered a deep loss.

Curious. Are you a Scientologist? Sorry, just putting Travolta and Battlefield Earth together.

I'm sure it's WAY too early for this, but did his Scientology beliefs prevent him from getting proper treatment for his autistic son?

(CNN) – Levi Johnston, the father of Sarah Palin's grandchild Tripp and fiance of daughter Bristol, quit his job earlier this week after reports that his lack of a high school diploma made him ineligible for the apprentice position he'd held since fall.

 

Johnston's father Keith told the Anchorage Daily News that his son felt the move was "the best thing to do to kind of calm the waters, so to speak," and that his son's missing educational qualification was "just something that slipped through the cracks."

 

"You guys are watching him so tightly," Johnston told the paper. "He's being treated different than an average 18-year-old kid. He has to do everything by the book now."

 

Palin herself called the report a "a political potshot taken at me," that could "destroy a young man's opportunity for work."

 

 

Welcome to the real world kid, where the majority of us have to do everything by the book if we want a job.

Scientologists aren't Christian Scientists. While Scientologists don't believe in psychology, I don't believe they avoid/withhold any traditional medical treatments.

 

Do they?

Was he really austic? I must have missed that.

 

"Treatment" for austism is not medical. I understand some religions proscribe medical treatment but speech therapy, counseling etc are different...

 

My son was austic and died in a very similar fashion at age 14. We have always attributed his sudden death to diabetes, although the autopsy could not pinpoint a cause of death. He too would have seizures, caused by drop in his blood sugar, but the causes for those drops were usually related not to his insulin or his diet but to extreme excitement ... you could actually anticipate his episodes based on what was going on in his life. Unfortunately one night we didn't realize how excited he was... The doctors used to say "oh, people don't die from seizures unless they hurt themselves during the seizure..." but of course these same doctors couldn't ever figure out WHY he had them. After subjecting him to a spinal tap among other horrific tets one day in emergency, and finding nothing, we assumed we'd all have to live with it and hope that as he matured and became less "brittle" he wouldn't have them any more.

 

The brain is a funny thing ... autistic people are "wired" differently ... and it's just hard to tell.

 

I know EXACTLY what the Travolta family is going through, and it sucks. I would not wish it on anyone.

I know that Scientologists do not believe in treating mental disorders (see Tom Cruise's past rants against postpartum depression). I don't claim to know their specific views on autism, but I'm sure that it would not be too difficult to find out.

 

I just read an article on Scientific American's website:

It seems that they tried at least one anti-seizure medication and I wouldn't want to presume that more could have been done, though it doesn't sound like all avenues of seizure prevention were explored.

Gov. Sarah Palin (R-Alaska) believes Caroline Kennedy is getting softer press treatment in her pursuit of the New York Senate seat than Palin did as the GOP vice presidential nominee because of Kennedy’s social class. “I’ve been interested to see how Caroline Kennedy will be handled and if she will be handled with kid gloves or if she will be under such a microscope,” Palin told conservative filmmaker John Ziegler during an interview Monday for his upcoming documentary film, “How Obama Got Elected.” Excerpts from the interview were posted on YouTube Wednesday evening. “It’s going to be interesting to see how that plays out and I think that as we watch that we will perhaps be able to prove that there is a class issue here also that was such a factor in the scrutiny of my candidacy versus, say, the scrutiny of what her candidacy may be.”

 

Palin said she remains subject to unfair press coverage of her and her family. “Is it political? Is it sexism?” she asked. “What is it that drives someone to believe the worst and perpetuate the worst in terms of gossip and lies?”

 

She observed that Katie Couric and Tina Fey have been “capitalizing on” and “exploiting” her. “I did see that Tina Fey was named entertainer of the year and Katie Couric’s ratings have risen,” she said. “And I know that a lot of people are capitalizing on, oh I don’t know, perhaps some exploiting that was done via me, my family, my administration. That’s a little bit perplexing, but it also says a great deal about our society.” The Alaska governor said that when she sees some of the coverage of her daughter Bristol especially “the momma grizzly rises up in me.”

 

Looking back on the Couric interviews, Palin said she knew things were not going well after their first session and asked the McCain campaign to pull the plug on the remaining sit downs but insisted the campaign made her go through with the rest.

“I knew it didn’t go well the first day, and then we gave her a couple of other segments after that. And my question to the campaign was, after it didn’t go well the first day, why were we going to go back for more?” she said. “Because of however it works in that upper echelon of power brokering in the media and with spokespersons, it was told to me that, yeah, we are going to go back for more. And going back for more was not a wise decision either.”

 

Palin criticized Couric for the way CBS “spliced it together,” saying that “so many of the topics brought up were not portrayed as accurately as they could have, should have, been.” She also expressed frustration with Couric’s characterization of her since the interviews. After being shown a clip of Couric complaining to David Letterman that no post-election interviewer has asked Palin why she would not tell the CBS anchor what newspapers she reads, the Alaska governor responded: “Because, Katie, you’re not the center of everybody’s universe.”

Waaah! It's wasn't a class issue, it was a lack of knowledge issue. And no editing was necessary to show that you couldn't answer even simple questions about newspapers. Don't blame the media for your own incompetence, although it probably plays well with your core supporters who don't believe their own lying eyes.

It's not possible to prevent 100% of seizures. It just isn't. Austism isn't typically treated by medication anyway unless you get some nut who wants to sedate the child (a la "ADD/ADHD"). They tried that with my son and I refused. Tutoring and speech therapy worked wonders and the more he accomplished the better he felt and the calmer he got. Sans drugs.
