Last week, via the traditional medium of US Weekly, Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin announced that they are once again engaged to be married. The cynics have said what cynics always say about a couple in love: they’re too young, it’s all for show, they already got engaged after he impregnated her in high school and they broke it off immediately upon the conclusion of her mother’s unsuccessful bid for the vice presidency. |
Haters hate. It’s what they do. I hope the young lovebirds don’t listen to them, though, because I have a feeling that Levi and Bristol are going to be just fine.
Call it an intuition. Call it good genetic material—Sarah Palin is a maverick, after all. Her daughter probably inherited some of the same independent, go-your-own-way traits.

I think all those teen pregnancy kids should just get married.
Sure, the lamestream media tries to sell us the same cookie-cutter marriage between two people of legal drinking age who have lived apart from their parents and experienced romantic interactions without a child or their geometry teacher crying in the background. But that’s not the only recipe for a successful relationship. Alaskans are resourceful people, after all, used to making what they need from what they have, so maybe Levi and Bristol’s marriage will be the equivalent of a house made out of animal skins and sticks.
