Fun news day!
The news is really picking up lately. I’m completely overwhelmed by the wealth of information that is coming out concerning Sarah Palin, John McCain’s running mate. It is mind boggling, and so much fun to read! I learned that she was once mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, for a short time. Wasilla is a town of less than 6,000. When her mother-in-law ran for mayor of Wasilla, Sarah supported the opposition. Sarah has a four-month old son with Down syndrome. She knew of this before his birth which should really endear her to the conservative base. Sarah was being investigated over claims that she had pressured a former state public safety commissioner into resigning. The safety commissioner said he felt pressured by Sarah’s administration and her husband to fire a state trooper who was going through a nasty divorce with Sarah’s sister. And then it was disclosed her husband, Todd, pleaded guilty to driving while drunk in 1986; he was driving a pickup with friends. Now I say, “Whose husband hasn’t been pulled over for driving drunk in a pickup?” That should be a non-issue. Happens to all men in pickups. But then there’s her daughter, Bristol, who is 5 months pregnant and no one knew until just a few days ago. She is having the baby, of course, and plans to marry her redneck boyfriend who will be at the convention tonight. That must be one big happy family! I can hardly wait for her speech tonight.
The other exciting news was about cheating men. Why do men cheat? Because they can. That’s just my thought on the subject. But apparently there is a study in Sweden which studied the hormone vasopressin. They studied 552 people and found that a section of the gene called RS3 334 was linked to how men bond with their partners. They found that men with two copies of RS3 334 were twice as likely to cheat on their partners. This has been proven in the study of voles (rodents), sometimes called meadow mice, which we apparently are quite like. Some voles are monogamous and some are serial commitment-phobes – just like humans. So now men have an excuse to cheat – it’s in their genes!
