In light of the speculation regarding the parentage of Sarah Palin's baby, I think it's time to point out the name of the place where McCain made his veep announcement:
Despite reports last night that the McCain campaign was having trouble giving away tickets to his vice presidential announcement at the Ervin Nutter Center, there's no evidence of that here, with an overflow capacity of 12,000 awaiting McCain's appearance with his shocker VP pick, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
A Nutter Center staffer in the press area just told us that the place is oversold, so the crowd could top 12,000.
So there you have it. Where else does a nutter go to make an important announcement?
Speaking of nutters, I also found bizarrely fascinating an article (can't locate it now) that talked about how Palin embraced the news that her son (grandson?) has Down syndrome. She apparently sent an email out to all of her friends and family members, written in the first person and signed by God, asking them to embrace His child, yada, yada ... either she has a well honed sense of humor, or she's something of a nutter herself.
Who'd have thunk things would take such a bizarre turn so quickly?

Heh. Seems redundant, doesn't it? The Nutter Center.
And re: your comment on my blog - yeah, I stay away from white trash references. I know how deeply that can cut people and how that will quickly make people hate you and do the opposite of what you suggest. I once got punched by someone when I called her white trash. Lesson learned.
Thanks for the affirmation, DCup. I didn't want to sound like I was taking someone to task, but my school is over 70% free & reduced hot lunch (the poverty index) and I know that every single one of those kids deserves my love and respect, and every single parent -- whether I like them or agree with them -- is doing the best they can. So I don't even go there.
