From the AP:
Bristol Palin, 18, gave birth to Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston on Saturday, People magazine reported online. He weighed 7 pounds, 4 ounces. Colleen Jones, the sister of Bristol’s grandmother, told the magazine that “the baby is fine and Bristol is doing well.”
The governor’s office said it would not release information because it considers the baby’s birth a private, family matter. Palin family members, hospital employees and spokespeople for the governor’s former running mate, John McCain, either would not confirm the birth or did not return messages from The Associated Press.
Lindsay’s MySpace Christmas Eve message is much more inspiring than the Pope’s. In fact, it’s all Linday’s words. We don’t even need her photo thanks to what she is spreading on her MySpace page.
That’s why Lindsay beat the Pope when we were deciding what message to post before we head out for our family’s Christmas Eve dinner.
Lindsay’s message is from someone who has lived life. In that bowl full of Cherry’s thing - she has done enough live, live, live for most lifetimes. Now, looking back, she notes that she’s made a mistake or two and hopes others can learn from those.
The Pope has never lived. He is an old man who has never been married and has never known the pure joy from raising children. Yet, this bitter old loser in prissy red shoes - living in his tower of gold - thinks he has advice for the rest of us.
Read Lindsay and may she have a fantabulously over the top 2009.
We have the video, after the jump, of Rachel Maddow’s show and tell / comments on Rick Warren and his diagnosis of Christophobia for us homos. Just for fun, we also threw in a Christmas Eve snow photo of Rachel and her girlfriend Susan.
We are waiting for a transcripts of last night’s show but until then, we’ve also brought you the transcript from Monday night’s Rachel Maddow Show. So please do not try to watch the video and follow the transcript. You do not want to be declared totally nuts on Christmas Eve.
I have no idea why we are watching this. I’m still baffled by Tila.
Watch and . . . do whatever it is we do when we watch these train wrecks.
Talk about changing hearts and minds. My gandmothers LOVED daytime soaps. Of course, they are long gone but I can easily see how it would have been. Shopping trip done . . . Mamow announces it’s time to get home to “watch my shows” and see if Reese ever proposes to Bianca.
Reese Williams and Bianca Montgomery are fictional characters from the ABC daytime drama All My Children. Reese is portrayed by Tamara Braun, and Bianca is portrayed by Eden Riegel. The couple is groundbreaking for featuring the first same-sex marriage proposal on an American soap opera. In addition, the pairing’s family is the first onscreen family made up of same-sex parents in the history of American daytime television.
Enjoy the sappy lesbian soap opera filled holiday music video after the jump!
In a major victory for same-sex parents nationwide, a U.S. District Court judge in Louisiana has ordered the state registrar to honor the New York adoption of a baby boy by a same-sex couple, saying her continued failure to do so violated the U.S. Constitution.
After the jump read all 5 pages of the Craig Report.
DECEMBER 23–President-elect Barack Obama and two of his top advisers were interviewed last week by federal prosecutors probing Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich’s alleged bid to sell Obama’s vacated Senate seat, according to a report issued today by an Obama lawyer. The lawyer, Gregory Craig, concluded that Obama and his aides engaged in no improper conduct in connection with the Senate opening. A copy of the Craig report can be found below. As part of his review of transition team “contacts” with Blagojevich, Craig reported that only incoming White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel had spoke with the Illinois pol. Emanuel, Craig disclosed, had “one or two telephone calls” with Blagojevich in early-November. Emanuel reportedly gave Blagojevich a “heads up” that he was accepting Obama’s offer of the chief of staff job (and, as a result, would be resigning his congressional seat). Emanuel also “had a brief discussion with the Governor about the Senate seat and the merits of various people whom the Governor might consider.” Craig also noted that Emanuel had “about four telephone conversations with John Harris, Chief of Staff to the Governor, on the subject of the Senate seat. In these conversations, Mr. Emanuel and Mr. Harris discussed the merits of potential candidates and the strategic benefit that each candidate would bring to the Senate seat.” In addition to the president-elect, Emanuel and Valerie Jarrett, an Obama confidante, were interviewed in the past few days by investigators with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Chicago, which, on December 9, announced criminal charges against Blagojevich and Harris.

When will we see Lindsay Lohan sporting one of these t’s?
Portia de Rossi is looking quite dapper in her “I Love My Wife” shirt - accessorized with her celesbian wife, Ellen DeGeneres, on her arm.
The L Word characters Bette, Kit, Alice, and Shane have inspired 4 new shades of lipstick.
We have the colors. See if you can match Bette, Kit, Alice and Shane to their shades. We don’t know about you but our money is on Shane being matched with the lipstick shade shown in the straight-up erection position. Check it all out after the jump.
After the jump, Warren’s new video. We’ve read what Mrs. and Mrs. Melissa Etheridge have said in their attempt to defend Rick Warren. We truly “get” their point of view. In fact, one of us spent several years inviting anti-gay ministers to lunch, over to the house for dinner, and even doing joint public appearances to talk about marriage equality.
We drew a line in the sand when it came to Little Man. That’s when it all ended. For all of the meetings, hugs, smiles and private support . . . we got NOTHING from these “good Christians” when it came time to legally protect our son’s relationship to his parents.
Watch the newest video from Rick Warren, Saddleback Pastor and Obama inaugural invocation selectee. In this video recorded and posted today, December 23, Warren accuses us gays of having “Christ-ophobia”–claiming that all gays are “afraid of any Christian.”
We’re not afraid of you - we’re just sick of some of you. The term “you” is used to describe self-proclaimed Christians who spend their time raising public opinion and money to hurt my family. Go away.
