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!!
