Will he make the rest of the country jealous.

Now in news of Governors having sex with their spouses.

Alaska’s Governor Sarah Palin Announces Family Addition.

Isn’t that nice. :-)

[update]
What is up with snarky linguistic music criticism from NYT reporters:::

On the Web page is a recording of what she describes as her latest track, “What We Want,” a hip-hop-inflected rhythm-and-blues tune that asks, “Can you handle me, boy?” and uses some dated slang, calling someone her “boo.”

from here

Some dated slang… like… huh? It’s language, it’s part of old songs and new current songs… Chris Brown’s #2 on the billboard hot 100 last week “With You” currently at #3 rhymes you with boo… it’s not gonna stop… it’s not dated, it’s just a word, stemming apparently from the french Beaux -> Caribbean languages transmogrified into boo.

The gray lady is dated. That’s a fact.

Here’s her myspace so you can hear the song. It’s OK… not great by any means. But no need to attack her use of the word boo as dated.
