1. The answer is easy

It's another way for Palin to launder money from her PAC back into her family.

2. Who would pay? Seriously. Who?

What could she possibly say that's worth paying money for?

14. You already know the answer to those questions...

At the very least 30% of this country relies exclusively on magical thinking -- reason has no significant place in their ideology.

Anyone with any ability to use reason already knows that Bristol Palin is the poster child for the idiocy of abstinence only programs.

NEWS FLASH: We are all animals -- primates more specifically. Put enough of us in together for a significant period of time and we will find ourselves boinking those ugly parts. The development of language, which is the only significant difference between us and our cousins, did not eliminate the biological drive to get it on. Be safe, be smart -- use a condom.


Or to rework a phrase from Dick Cheney, "Abstinence may be a sign of personal virtue but it is not a sufficient basis for a sound, comprehensive sex education policy."

7. This is like hiring BP to conduct a seminar on environmental stewardship.

Hi, I'm Bristol Palin. Don't do what I did. That'll be 30-grand, please!
