| Bristol Palin, Fiance Call Off Engagement |
| 2009-03-12 |
| The teenage daughter of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her fiance have broken up just over two months after the birth of the couple's child. People.com reported Wednesday that sources said the split between Bristol Palin, 18, and Levi Johnston, 19 occurred a few weeks ago, and Johnston confirmed to the Associated Press that he and Bristol mutually decided to end their relationship "a while ago." He did not elaborate. Palin said in a statement to the Associated Press that she is "devastated." The young Palin told FOX News' Greta van Susteren that they intended to get married after they both finished high school. "Eventually, we'd like to get married. We're focusing on, like, getting through school and just getting an education and stuff, getting a career going," Palin said. She also told FOX News that her and Johnston didn't find being young parents "glamorous," and they both felt having kids should wait. |

| #15 Deacon, the English pronunciation is Leevi. The Hebrew word would be pronounced Lay-vee. The descendants of the tribe of Levi were the temple attendants, not the priests. Grom, actually priest would be Kohen, pronunced Ko-hayn. The descendants of Aaron (of the tribe of Levi) were the priests. These days except for very few purposes neither distinction matters. |

| #11 Actually, Bristol Palin agreed with the "pro-choice lobby", since she kept saying it was her decision to keep the baby and hers alone. Now if she had said that there was no decision at all, that'd be telling the "pro-choice" lobby to stuff itself. |

| #10 I dunno, Goober. Sometimes life just happens. Of course, it'd be better if they could work it out and stay together. But the good news is they told the "pro choice" lobby to stuff themselves. |

| #7 Not surprising with how the MSM went after Levi's mom like a pack of wolves. Disgusting. |

| #6 grom - Levi's a surprisingly popular name in middle America. One of the girls here at work has a preteen son named Levi. Never asked whether it's an Elton John reference or biblical. |

| #5 Our leaders should be ashamed that in the political pursuit of the presidential elections we allowed these kids to be destroyed as pawns. No one at their age could survive the attacks by our left wing press. There are hundreds of kids in the same situation, high school pregnancies, with them and their families trying to sort through all the issues and keep their families together. What our press did was shameful, what our new president DID NOT DO to stop it was inexcusable! |

| #3 It didn't help that the Dems got the young man fired from his apprenticeship job on the north slope, where he was earning good money and could have supported them after marriage. Vindictive thugs. |
