Not Political, I swear.

September 15th, 2008

I have written and deleted so many political posts recently.  I am really hesitant to post much about this election because I am feeling so put off by many of MY favorite bloggers.  It seems that if you don’t agree with the blogger, then you are stupid, or uneducated.  I have been made to feel defensive and just plain pissed off at many blogs who I used to check everyday.  It has gotten so bad, that I am getting ready to do some major editing on my blog roll.

This does not mean that I have no political opinion, and I probably will post something at some point, but that is not going to happen today.   Instead we have a post about baby names–sure they are the baby names of a potential Vice President, but this is not about the person or her beliefs but her choice of monikers for her five kids.  Track (named because of the whole family’s involvement in track and field sports), Bristol, (named for commercial fishing area, Bristol Bay),  Willow (a community in Alaska), Piper, (because “It’s a cool name.”), and finally little Trig (a Norse name meaning strength.).

Presenting the Sarah Palin Baby Name generator.  My name is Drill Swollen Palin, The Husband is Shank Piston Palin, and The Son is Rock Crane Palin.  Post your Palin name in the comments section, The Drill commands you!

Overheard in a HOSPITAL, you know where they have lives in their hands.

The Husband does geeky things to hospital computers when he is not at school or parenting or husbanding or doing church things.  We are all (knock on wood) fine.  Just wanted to explain why he was in a hospital.   Oh, and we here at thehuckablog are well aware that all nurses are not nitwits…but these were. Explanation over, post continued…..NOW!

Nurse 1: Well, I just got off the phone with my Daddy, I was so worried.

Nurse 2: Why? Is everything okay?

Nurse 1: I heard on the radio that Russia had invaded Georgia!  My Daddy lives in Atlanta, so I had to find out if he was okay.

Nurse 2: Wow! Was he okay? Was there a terrorist attack or something?

Nurse 1: Yeah it turns out there is a country in Africa or somewhere named Georgia, and that is who was attacked.

Nurse 2: Oh.  That is good news.
