Morning everyone!
So how was everyone’s weekend? Gov. Palin sure seemed busy with her BBQ in Missouri and summer party in Iowa. That was fun to hear news of and see pictures from.
Did anyone watch the Curiosity Mars landing last night? I was completely mesmerized by it. How cool that it was on livestream and twitter. That was an amazing experience to watch.
I’m grumpy today with the RNC speaker list having been released. I know is isn’t complete but we already had the leak that Krispy Kreme is the keynote and the rest of the speakers won’t be the “headliners”. There is no Palin on this list. So she either is not speaking or is not a headliner and will get a horrible slot during the day. Now, I understand that McCain is on this list because he was the nominee last time, fine. I don’t get why Smuckabee is on this list. He has no following, no one listens to his radio show and he isn’t relevant. I also don’t get Kasich. Since when was he know for his rousing speeches? Missing from the list is Palin, DeMint, Alan West and Scott Walker. Now hopefully Palin still gets a good speaking spot. Hopefully, Mitt isn’t as stupid as he appears here. The problem is that Palin should have been the first speaker they secured not the last, if at all. Also, where are the other primary candidates? I have never seen a convention that didn’t include them. They have supporters. The convention is where you bring everyone together. So where is Cain, Perry, Santorum, Paul, Bachmann, Huntsman, and Gingrich? Where is Jan Brewer?
All I can say is that with Palin’s endorsement record, Romney and Reince better find a headline spot for her on the schedule… just saying…
We all need to start now with our prayers for Sarah Steelman’s victory tomorrow and continue to pray without ceasing. I am really hoping for a victory for her.

UPDATED:
Normally I don’t do updates during the week but there is much news and one of them has me spittin’ mad. This article talking about Levi filing papers for full custody of Tripp. Really? Maybe he should consider paying the child support he owes and utilizing the visitation he currently has to it’s fullest before he even thinks asking for more. His reasoning is proof enough that he isn’t ready for full custody. What a shock he would be in for.
Note to Levi: 2 and 3 year old kids are highly politically incorrect and inappropriate even from the best of families UNTIL you teach them otherwise and even then, they are still kids. Not once in a single episode did Bristol condone Tripp’s behavior, in fact, it actively shows her working on it, struggling to find that solution that will work for Tripp just like every parent I know. And guess what!! Just when you have it down for this child, along comes another child and what worked on the first one may not work on the second one. Bristol is no different than any young, first time mom that I know or that I was. She will be fine, she is doing a good job and Tripp will grow into a wonderful young man. Any sane Judge will see straight thru this for what it is, a publicity ploy and extortion. Levi only sees Tripp as a paycheck.
Now in some of the lower 48 states (not all) a judge won’t even hear a plea from Levi until he current on his child support unless he could show reason for an emergency order and that burden of proof to reach is high. Often what happens is everyone comes to court, Levi thinks he is going to let Bristol have it but Bristol’s attorney filed contempt papers due to back child support so that must be dealt with first. The judge will deal with that and since Levi has no money, the judge will tell Levi that the court will reschedule his hearing on custody once the child support is current and Levi can show that he has been actively utilizing his visitation rights with Tripp on a consistent basis over a period of time so that the court is satisfied that Levi is involved in Tripp’s life. Now if Levi does this, they hold the custody hearing and it goes on from there but if he does not do this (which 90% of them don’t) then the custody hearing never takes place. I don’t know how Alaska handles their issues so it will be interesting to watch. Levi just made himself look like the biggest dipwad yet. What an idiot!
Next item that cracks me up is this notion that Cheney was making nice with Palin while walking back his criticism of her. I saw this come across my twitter. Please, this was no “making nice” this was full blown CYA and I don’t see where he really walked anything back. Am I missing that part of his comment in either of these articles?
Also, if you haven’t “liked” their new Facebook page yet, please head over there and give Chuck Jr and Chuck Sr and big hello, welcome and some Palin love on their new page for their book “Our Sarah”.
This is likely more than I can take… (no, I’m sure it is more than I can take… please no!)
Have a great Monday everyone! If you can, let’s help GOTV for Steelman in MO!
