How is that a damaging allegation even if true?<BR/><BR/>I know someone who just a month or so ago was introduced to his teenage daughter, who had been raised by her grandmother and thought her mother was her sister until the truth was revealed. There are a lot worse things that could happen.<BR/><BR/>Now, it's arguably a bit different with a public figure in a leadership position, to the extent that falsehoods are stated to the public, as <A HREF="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/08/privacy-and-pal.html" REL="nofollow">this reader's comment at Andrew Sullivan's blog argues</A>. And the fact that Palin flew back from Texas to give birth (most airlines won't let you fly 30 days or 7 days before your due date, depending on airline) and her daughter has been absent from school for 5-8 months at the same time is certainly weird.<BR/><BR/>Sullivan <A HREF="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/08/things-that-mak.html" REL="nofollow">has posted about some of the oddities</A>, and has also posted <A HREF="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/09/she-looks-pregn.html" REL="nofollow">evidence that Palin was indeed pregnant and gave birth</A>.Lippardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16826768452963498005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15453937.post-52601908567991372472008-09-01T02:03:00.000-07:002008-09-01T02:03:00.000-07:00And a smear from Alan Colmes.And a <A HREF="http://www.alan.com/2008/08/31/heres-that-screenshot-of-the-original-post/" REL="nofollow">smear from Alan Colmes</A>.Ktisophiloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16718156076583190052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15453937.post-56388648236962240322008-09-01T02:00:00.000-07:002008-09-01T02:00:00.000-07:00At least this isn't like the vile smear against Pa...At least this isn't like the <A HREF="http://dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/8/30/121350/137/486/580223" REL="nofollow">vile smear against Palin's daughter</A> on the loony left <I>Daily Kos</I> site.Ktisophiloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16718156076583190052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15453937.post-52539461071676154152008-08-31T21:31:00.000-07:002008-08-31T21:31:00.000-07:00My apologies, Theo!My apologies, Theo!Lippardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16826768452963498005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15453937.post-22653595402231468112008-08-31T19:19:00.000-07:002008-08-31T19:19:00.000-07:00Thanks for the tip - I have now added NoScript to ...Thanks for the tip - I have now added NoScript to my Firefox.

It's annoying, but hasn't affected me because I use Firefox with NoScript, and don't automatically trust Dayport's domain for scripting. I *highly* recommend the use of Firefox with NoScript, as web scripts are a very common malware delivery mechanism.<BR/><BR/>The annoying automatic launch will cease as soon as that blog post moves off the front page of the blog... probably only a few more posts before that happens.
