So guess who's a grandmother again.

Marc and I are overwhelmed with gratitude and love as we celebrate the birth of our son, Aidan Clinton Mezvinsky.

Former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton released the following statement on their new grandchild, saying they are “overjoyed to be grandparents again.” “We are all over the moon as Chelsea and Marc welcome Charlotte’s little brother to the world and grateful for our many blessings. Chelsea and Aidan are both doing well and enjoying this very special time together.” 

I literally have no idea what this means politically, and really who cares?

However it undoubtedly helps to humanize Hillary Clinton even more, and after the crap that has thrown at her this last year, and the crap that is about to be thrown at her leading up to November, every little bit helps.

What? Still married to her first and only husband? Giving birth to her second child and telling the world immediately rather than having the tabloids force her to admit it?

That's just crazy.

The next thing you will say is that her mother is going to publicly congratulate her instead of refusing to acknowledge the blessed event for months.

Your dad and I could not be happier for you, Marc, and Charlotte. We’re so excited to meet our second grandchild! -H https://t.co/hgTr07HBlr

Well what do you know?

Wait, and her dad too?

Christmas comes early! @HillaryClinton and I are thrilled for Chelsea, Marc and Charlotte’s growing family in 2016! https://t.co/D1zCrrzXa2

Man all I can say is that these three would be laughed right out of Wasilla.

Congratulations to this amazing family. 

Grandmother shoots grandson thinking him an intruder. Another example of that 2nd Amendment keeping us safe.

Courtesy of the AP:  

A grandmother shot and critically wounded her 7-year-old grandson early Tuesday after mistaking him for an intruder who had broken into her home, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said. 

Linda Maddox, 63, and her twin grandsons were sleeping in a bedroom after her son, who is the boy's father, had left for work at the postal service, deputies said. Maddox told deputies she had placed a chair against the bedroom door handle for extra protection while they slept. 

When she heard the chair sliding against the wood floor about 1 a.m. Tuesday, she assumed it was an intruder and grabbed a loaded .22-caliber revolver she keeps by the bed and fired one shot in the dark toward the door. 

Seconds later, she heard her grandson Tyler Maddox scream, deputies said. He was shot once in the upper body. He was taken to a hospital, where he was listed in critical condition.

That is the America that the NRA has helped to create.

Sarah Palin's somewhat belated Father's Day post.

From the IM puppet's Facebook page:  

Happy Father's Day, all you great hardworking American men who make this world a better place! The nation needs you. The nation loves you. 

- Sarah Palin

Well thank you Sarah I love my nation too. Though to be fair I was unaware they had elected you as their spokesperson.

Palin also included a picture of Todd with Trig and one of Chuck Sr. putting his hand over his heart in front of the Statue of Liberty, which sports a SarahPAC logo in the corner so the old fart can help to earn his keep.

However I chose to borrow the picture above, with all credit to Palin's Facebook page, because we have not seen Track in uniform in many, many moons.

I have to imagine that this is in response to all of the criticism she receives for calling her son a "combat veteran" when he is no longer active in the military and never saw any combat.

Clearly this is a picture that she has had for some time since Kyla Grace was born in 2011 and has surely not taken until 2014 to learn to walk.

And we know that Track was discharged in 2010 after serving only 2 years.

So I am not sure why he is wearing his uniform in that picture. (Do soldiers get extra attention on airlines these days?)

He also did not see any combat while in Iraq as indicated by the fact that he did not receive a Combat Infantry Badge which is automatic once a soldier engages in a firefight.

But nonetheless, I am sure that the low hanging fruit will eat all of this up with a spoon.

You know sometimes Sarah you can simply love your family without feeling the need to make up mythologies to cover for your embarrassment at how they turned out.

They should not all have to be combat veterans, book authors, or reality show stars in order to earn their parent's love.

I'm just saying.

Hillary Clinton soon to have a new title. Grandmother.

Courtesy of the Washington Post:  

Chelsea Clinton announced Thursday that she and her husband are expecting their first child this year — as her parents, the former and possibly future presidents, prepared to become grandparents. 

In a surprise announcement, Clinton, 34, said she and husband, Marc Mezvinsky, are “very excited” and “lucky” to welcome a child into their family. 

“I just hope that I will be as good a mom to my child and hopefully children as my mom was to me,” said Clinton, as her mother, former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton, looked on proudly. A Clinton spokesman said the baby is due this fall. 

Thursday’s joyous announcement came at the conclusion of a forum, moderated by actress and activist America Ferrera at the Lower Eastside Girls Club, promoting young women’s empowerment. 

“I certainly feel all the better — whether it’s a boy or girl — that she or he will grow up in a world full of so many strong, young female leaders, so thank you for inspiring future generations, including the one that we’ll be lucky enough to welcome into our family later this year,” Chelsea Clinton said. 

As Clinton spoke, her mother beamed from the stage. She said she was “really excited” to be expecting her first grandchild and later tweeted: “My most exciting title yet: Grandmother-To-Be!” Former president Bill Clinton tweeted: “Excited to add a new line to my Twitter bio . . . grandfather-to-be!”

My most exciting title yet: Grandmother-To-Be! @billclinton and I are thrilled that Chelsea and Marc are expecting their first child!

Wow, Chelsea is having a baby after being married for four years, and it was planned.

Well somebody certainly did not read the "Palin Family Planning" brochure.

You know as I was waking up this morning I turned on my TV, and heard a discussion about this on Morning Joe.

Somebody, and I am sorry I was too groggy to see who, mentioned that this might be politically advantageous to Hillary. 

He was immediately ridiculed by Nicolle Wallace, but I think he is undoubtedly correct.

That should certainly not be the first take away from hearing this news, but, considering how tied into politics the Clintons are, it is certainly something that is open for discussion.

After all if Sarah Palin was able to use a fake pregnancy of her own, and the real pregnancy of her unwed teenage daughter, to garner support from the anti-abortion folks, Hillary should get mad props from the female demographic for raising an intelligent daughter, who finished college, got married, and THEN started a family in a responsible manner.

Don'tcha think?

P.S. Here is video of Chelsea making the announcement. Check out the smile on Hillary's face.
