My take

My take on the tasteless "joke" by David Letterman -

I am a huge Sarah Palin fan/supporter. I am proud of the woman standing up for her morals and values. All she can do is instill those into her children. Children can and will make mistakes, but I'm a firm believer that you'll come back to the foundation given to you by your parents, it make take a long time, but your foundation IS your foundation.

Sarah's children do not deserve to be joked about just because their mom made a choice to run for V.P. of the USA. Letterman's choice of material is just a grown up old man bullying some teenagers. It was a pot-shot. It does not matter if the intended subject was Bristol, it was still a pot-shot. I think David and his writers forgot that a large portion of America does support Palin and Christian values. I think they've been reminded. America is still a Christian nation.

Is Letterman guilty of poor taste with that particular piece? Yes, definitely.

Has Letterman made me laugh at times over the years with things I found funny that other people did not? Yes, I'm sure he has.

Does one misstep mean he should lose his career? I don't think so. We're human, we make mistakes, we forgive. Hopefully, we grow and learn from those missteps. I watched the 2nd "apology" and I think it was as sincere as Letterman gets, I just don't know that he knows how to deliver the kind of sincerity we seem to expect, doesn't mean he's not sincere in his own way. Take it at face value, accept, forgive and move on - that is what we as Christians do.

Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin came to Georgia today to campaign for Saxby Chambliss. She was close enough for me to go see her. I managed to get this shot which turned out to be my favorite one, it was shot through someone's arms. Notice the tiara - a young girl behind her was wearing it, but it looks like Sarah is wearing it.

It was awesome getting to attend the rally.
