It is a question that needs to be asked and it appears that I am the only one with the courage to raise the question--do we really want a politician with the bad common sense of Palin to be our vice President? I mean, c'mon, she named her kids Trig, Track and Bristol?

Somehow, BYU took a risk by going after Bronco after his ill advised naming of his children...but I thought that the republican party had a bit more sense.

And you fancy yourself some kind of metro hipster. Imagine if Gwyneth or Angelina had used those names. I bet you wouldn't be so judgmental then.

Trust me, I am all for naming kids 'Apple' or 'Inspektor' or 'Mountain Meadows'...those all have an element of hipness and danger. But Trig and Track? Even I would tease people with those names. Being cool is a fine line but it appears that Mrs. Palin missed that class (or it just plain wasn't offered up in Alaska) on finding that line.

Well, it doesn't seem to have hurt Bristol's popularity.*

*Low class, I know. Sorry.

Hey, no need to apologize. Have a little confidence in yourself for cripes sake.

I think it's funny that UteStar is criticizing names, especially when his handle is based on the lowest degree of glory in the Mormon heaven.

Actually, you may want to brush up on your Doctrine and Cov knowledge...a Ute Star, mentioned somewhere around DC 96 is 'as good as it gets in the afterlife' or something like that.

And you dissing on me for my name...you still haven't answered the question on Why Ohio? I mean Dayton? C'mon.

lol! You think my name has anything to do with the buckeye state? It's a greeting to all my dear friends on this site. Yo Hi O. It's my hope that it brightens everybody's day. Letting you know that somebody cares. Cares enough to say Yo. To say Hi. To say O.

Y'all talk weird in the buckeye state. My day has not been brightened when I see your moniker. My moniker on the other hand gives hope to all of those striving to live on the Ute Star in above celestial glory one day.

Hold on there now, maybe it was the dad who insisted on that name. What do we really know about him? Other than he's more of a man than any five of us here?
