"I don't want kids."

Palin’s daughter Bristol splits from fiancé. After attempting to "cash in" on the Palin family name, new parents Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin decide to call it quits.
Despite the erstwhile Vice Presidential candidate wanting to use Bristol as a "teaching tool", there is no word if Palin will follow through and have her unwed daughter put up the fatherless child for adoption.

This post was deleted for the following reason: Meh, a brief NYT writeup on something everybody on the planet has heard about already and which is pretty much guaranteed to make for a crappy thread? -- cortex

Oh, what a joke. If you're gonna link crappy gossip on the front page, don't use the fucking NYT, for chrissake. It has none of the juicy details Levi's sister Mercede gave to The Star about Bristol calling Levi's family "white trash" or Mercede saying, "Bristol's just crazy. That's the nicest way I can put it" *or* the rumors that Bristol's been hanging around the high school after dropping out just to visit the unmarried swim coach.
If you're gonna jump in the mud, at least have the guts to do it all the way.

Honestly. this was a major topic in the past election and will be a major topic in Palin's inevitable 2012 campaign. It's pretty newsworthy.

Really? Boy, I just did not see that coming. They had what every good relationship is based on: An unplanned child and the convenient imperative of public opinion.

I was enjoying the quiet spell between election peaks. It was giving me time to clean the froth from my beard.

WOOHOO! I hope some of this ends up on Judge Judy, because then I'll get some payoff in about 18 months and my TV licence will have been worth paying.
