Marital Problems

SoSpeaking of…If we,Er,When weGet a divorce,Does that quellThe ‘conflict of interest’ accusationWith BP?

Enquiring Minds

Stupidly ridiculous.LikeThey just ran a story last weekSaying“See, we were right!Bristol does drugsVia Sherry Johnston”Or some stupid thingThat the kids sawOn the coverWhile shoppingAt WalMart.

A Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy

I know.And I just told someone:We’re not paranoidThey really are after us!:)

Today I Am Wearing

This would be hilariousIf it wasn’t so expensiveFor the state to process these accusationsAnd for me to defendAgainst the bogus harassments.Yes,I wore Arctic Cat snowgearAt a snowmachine event,Because it was cold outside,And by the wayToday I am wearing Alaska’s own Paige Adams’ jeansAnd Alaska’s Romney Dodd-Ortland hand-painted clogs.When will I see the ethics chargeFor wearing these?

Sue You!

My sistersShould sueTheir tabloid ass.

Palin-sanity

KTVA did a story tonightReporting“Levi Johnston said heAnd BristolPractice safe sex,Most of the time”.When has a teen’s sex lifeEVERBeen reported onIn the news?NeverHave I heard a celebrity,A criminal,Anyone’sSex lifeReported as aHardNews story.ThisIs insane.
