autism

I am becoming a politic junkie, which is something I thought I would never get in to.  I am actually changing the channels from my favorite sitcom reruns to CNN…  to catch the latest updates on what is going on.  It is turning into a sitcom itself.  People magazine is doing a republican exclusive that shows a picture of the candidates and their families that cracks me up every time I look at it.  If they don’t win they should consider doing a sitcom instead.

Sarah Palin, the “hockey mother”, while sending one child off to war is raising a newborn with downs syndrome.   While I agree that this new plot that the republicans have come up with might intrigue more viewers, I can not see it working to improve our world.  In reality,  the mother of a new born with special needs is going to have her hands pretty full.  While she deserves any kind of career path she chooses, it was her choice to have this child.  I see why the republicans feel that she will appeal to our special needs community.  However, do they really believe that this women is going to be able to give them 24/7 over the next four years?  Or do they really care?
