An entertainment rag (can’t remember which one) showing this picture of the Palin family pre-Trig (their youngest child). The caption – loosely quoted: “Rumours about Bristol being Trig’s birth mother were sparked after the publication of this picture showing Bristol apparently pregnant and Sarah Palin, well, not.”

Sounds like some entertainment columnists have seen too many photoshopped pictures of anorexic teenagers for the good of the rest of us. It’s called an abdomen and most of us have one, including my 12-year-old daughter. And my 11-year-old son. Scary.
