With world financial markets on the verge of collapse you'd think folks could find more to complain about than what some politician named her kid . . . but no. A reader... forwarded ...:
Sarah Palin named her son Trig Paxton Van Palin because it sounds like the band Van Halen.Fact check: Is it true that Trig Paxton Van Palin was named in part after the heavy metal band Van Halen? Yes, says my About.com colleague Linda Lowen, who has looked into the naming conventions of the Palin clan with more intrepidness than I could muster.
I'm sorry but anyone who calls their child that is not right in the head... and she is going to be a heartbeat (literally) from being the most powerful person in the world.
Puleeeze!!

Sorry folks, but if you all are calling Van Halen and Led Zeppelin heavy metal, I have to dismiss your discussion as irrelevant and uninformed.
Led Zeppelin, although stale now, is to many rockers and r&b'ers, the most prolific and inventive rock band of them all. I know, I love the Beatles, too. Zeps music covers so many genres one has a hard time pinning down the sound.
Eddie has pushed the rock guitar into the stratosphere. I'm sure wannabes are sitting with headphones, as we clickety-clack, trying to figure out how he got that sound.
These two groups of musicians and singers are Rockers. In the USofA,
we rock, on a daily basis. Our soldiers rock, our churches rock, our politicos rock, our rockers rock. We allow and encourage music as one of those inalienable rights.
So, puhleeez, if our Democratic candidate for President, is named Barack Obama, don't dis this vision of womanhood and toughness associated with such, as our forefathers fought and died for these rights, for naming her children whatever she cares to name them.
thank you,rock on, dd
whats wrong with van halen, all they ever did was create some good ass music, and dont even bring zeppelin into this debate, zeppelin is a god!
