Online) – If only Tina Fey would do her Sarah Palin impersonation one last time...<BR/>The former vice-presidential candidate and governor of Alaska has issued an official statement about the birth of her first grandchild, Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston. Daughter, Bristol Palin, 18, and her fiancé Levi Johnston welcomed a son on Dec. 27.<BR/>"We are over the moon with the arrival of this healthy, beautiful baby," says Palin. "The road ahead for this young couple will not be easy, but nothing worthwhile is ever easy. Bristol and Levi are committed to accomplish what millions of other young parents have accomplished, to provide a loving and secure environment for their child."<BR/>Now here's where it gets good...<BR/>The governor went on to say, "When Bristol and Levi first told us the shocking news that she was pregnant, to be honest, we all at first looked at the situation with some fear and a bit of despair. Isn't it just like God to turn those circumstances into such an amazing, joyful blessing when you ask Him to help you through?"<BR/>The official statement also includes a quote from new mom Bristol who "obviously" doesn't support teen pregnancy: "Teenagers need to prevent pregnancy to begin with - this isn't ideal. But I'm fortunate to have a supportive family which is dealing with this together. Tripp is so perfectly precious; we love him with all our hearts. I can't imagine life without him now."<BR/>In addition to parenting, the statement mentions that Bristol is finishing up her senior year in high school and "looks forward to continuing her record of good grades and high achievement." Levi, meanwhile, is getting his high school degree online and working as an apprentice to an electrician in Alaska.<BR/>··· THEY SAID WHAT?

Also agree that having Egypt take over Gaza is a hell of a good idea, but they haven't shown much eagerness to do so. I don't think a 'two state' solution will work, given their outlooks and book. Gaza could be a gambling and resort mecca if some other group of people ran the place, like the Swiss or the Nez Perce. Don't know about the west bank.

Can he cap the Yellowstone Caldera? I'm going to register my hunch as yes, having little to gain if the answer comes up no. Talking to my wife about this, we'd have to try to get to Ohio, where we might hang on for awhile, shooting deer and eating tomatoes. A full scale blow of Yellowstone would be pretty much the end of the USA, at least for some time. Starvation would break out everywhere.
