Social Networking probably rings the bells of sights like LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter.  Did you know it’s easy for you to create a social network all your own?

College Grads of the recent and not so recent past love to keep in touch.  Sometimes we call it ‘networking’ or ‘pinging’ but it all comes down to our desire to stay connected with people we share a relationship.  

Feeling ambitious?  Start your own social network:

Bristol Palin: Getting into College and out of the Spotlight

September 3, 2008 · Leave a Comment

The Dems and Republicans are spending more time debating the merits of whether Gov. Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol is fair play in the political arena than they have about measures to allow students to get into college.

(Bristol Palin, far right…in the picture, not just politically)

 

 

 

Meanwhile boyfriend Levi is ‘exuberantly’ supporting Bristol and ready for marriage.  I don’t suppose Sarah and Todd’s gun collection or hunting prowess figured into the decision whatsoever.

CNN has their own opinion on the matter – with shocking response from the conservative movement.

Fortunately Bristol may be relocating to Washington, D.C.  This town is home to such academic powerhouses as Georgetown and a not impossible commute to Harvard, Columbia, Boston College, you get the picture.  Sounds like Mom and Dad could even pony up the $250,000+ in tuition and daycare costs too (Her father Todd takes care of the kids back in Alaska).

Alright, before this turns into a full out rant, contact your Congressperson or Senator if you are interested in attending one of the universities Bristol will no doubt have access to, instead of more glorified gossip.  Let’s make college education a goal for the incoming administration.

Write Your Representative

Contact Your Senator
