Well Sarah Palin's back in Alaska spending time with her kids. Whether they want her to or not.

Hey look, she's still sporting Bristol's ring.

So yesterday's Facebook post from the Grizzled Mama features her showing up for Piper's graduation from middle school, and celebrating. Trig's last few days in kindergarten:

Celebrating the last day of school! What a GREAT day! New chapters in life, always unfolding.

Problem is of course that Trig simply cannot seem to be bothered with her attempts to use him as a prop anymore.

Jesus stop touching me, I hardly know you!

I was just remembering when we all started to notice that Trig seemed to have no connection to his "mother," and then there were those reports of him hitting her in the face.

Back then the Palin-bots were quick to jump to her defense and claim those were "liberal lies." But let's face it, all evidence points to the fact that we were well ahead of the curve on recognizing that there is no real mother-son connection between Palin and her most famous political prop.

And clearly she cannot force the little guy to fake one.

As for Bristol, well she is clearly back in Alaska and hanging out with her siblings.

Notice the ring finger is still bare, which does not exactly support the wishful thinking of those who want to believe that the wedding of the century is only "postponed."

Is this love?

So yesterday Brancy posted this picture along with this statement:

Mom sent this to me — I love Trig so much it hurts!

Really?

You know what hurts me?

That his little boy is not wearing his corrective eyeglasses and hearing aids. 

It makes me feel badly that he is so far behind developmentally, even though with the proper therapies and instruction he could be doing much, much better.

And I think it should make everybody hurt, especially the parents among us, to see a child who was used as a political pawn, being terribly neglected since he has apparently now outlived his usefulness.

Happy Birthday Trig!

Happy birthday to the most famous little political prop in recent American history, and the ONLY Palin (adopted) offspring that I think has any chance of making something of his life. 

Don't worry little guy, someday people will know the truth.
