Bwaha..

Oh man..

Now, I'll be the first to admit I'm not one to immediately trust DailyKos with information about prominent republicans, but I must say, this is convincing..

You (may or may not..) know that Sarah Palin (John McCain's VP running mate) has been widely reported of being pregnant, then having a baby with Downs Syndrome, thus fossilizing her pro-life platform.

Except, the problem that DailyKos has made a very very good case for, is that she looks like she was never pregnant during, well, all of her pregnancy, and as governor of Alaska, she gets photographed a lot. Her 16 year old daughter, on the other hand, was out of school for months with "Mono" and who looks pregnant in a bunch of official photos. Uh huuuh.

Remind me again who shouldn't be trusted with "the button"?

What other people said. Also, Downs correlates strongly with age.

oh yeah I didn't even consider that.

but then MAYBE the down syndrome thing is a lie within a lie to try and throw people of their trail. HMMMMM

what's this now?
Correlates strongly with age? Too young, I'm guessing?
How interesting.

Yeah, at 20 it's less than 0.1%, at 45 it's 5%

Ahh I see. Good to know, I guess.

I know someone (ok, friend of a friend), now my age, who had a child with Downs Syndrome at age 19
