The Johnston-Palin Split

From the AP. "Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin, the teenage daughter of Gov. Sarah Palin, have broken off their engagement, he said Wednesday, about 2 1/2 months after the couple had a baby."

This is a minor tragedy that means no more than what it is-- the collapse of a relationship between two kids who had a child a decade or so before they were ready. While I don't think much of the politics of Grandmother Palin, I do wish Levi, Bristol, and baby Tripp health, happiness-- and luck. It's a tough way to start their lives, so they will need all the fortune and good will they can get.
