The Best In Brief
It’s a Boy!
It's official—Sarah Palin is now a hockey grandma. Her 18-year-old daughter, Bristol, gave birth to a healthy 7 lb., 4 oz., pound baby boy on Saturday in Palmer, Alaska. And in a departure from her mother's penchant for creative names (Track, Piper, Willow, and Trigg), Bristol named her firstborn the relatively normal Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston. Bristol and Tripp's father, Levi Johnston, are engaged and have been together for three years. "We think it’s wonderful,” Colleen Jones, sister of Bristol’s grandmother Sally Heath, told People. “The baby is fine and Bristol is doing well. Everyone is excited.” Most notably excited is sporting goods manufacturer Easton, which just got itself loads of free publicity.

"Tripp" is normal? I'm a fan of abnormal monikers, having one myself, but I would say "People" is Tripping.
@ardeth Tripp is a normal name if you are the third person carrying the name. People also use Trey. I'm not sure in this case the Palin's have used the name properly, but it is a "normal" name
Tripp is not a normal name -- ESPECIALLY when you have a little brother named Trig!
One wonders if teenage pregnancy will now transform back from the campaign's claim of "family values" into a "national travesty" (Bill O'Reilly's words from this past January, not mine.)
I wonder if anyone on the 'Right' cares that the family couldn't even be bothered to move up the wedding so the kid wouldn't be born out of wedlock? Maybe they don't care how you do it anymore, so long as you're pumping out as many Soldiers for Jesus as your loins can stand.
Thank you.
