I am a firm believer in allowing private family members of public figures to be removed from public scrutiny. That is UNTIL they themselves decide to become a public figure. It was announced last week that Bristol Palin (daughter of former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin) is going on the speakers tour to talk about “don’t screw up and have a kid like I did as a teenager”.

Reports are that she will get between $15-30,000 per speech. That really busts my chops. Why weren’t my parents more popular? My life could be so much easier.
