You can take the girl out of the trailer park ...

But you can't take the trailer park out of the girl ... or girls. Jamie Lynn Spears, yes from "that" Spears family, is pregnant.

Not only is she pregnant, she is 16 years old. Perhaps not surprisingly, she is also from Louisiana, a state noted for some interesting notions of personal responsibility. However, in Louisiana the age of consent is ... 17. In California, it is 18, with none of the usual caveats of 16 if the adult is less than 24, etc. So, it appears that a crime may have been committed? In more ways than one?

JL Spears is the star of Nickelodeon's Zoey 101, a television show for kids, young teenagers. So it begs the question, what is this saying to the loyal fans that will be following the real life exploits of their hero? Rather than terminating the pregnancy in a discreet manner, JL has decided to "have the baby." And voila, another teen mother who, if her sister is anything to go by, is singularly unsuited for the role of care-giver, advisor, mentor ... and mother. No doubt JL has strong religious beliefs which prohibit her from abortion, but it does pose the question: "isn't sex out of wedlock a sin?" Apparently, she met her 19 year old boyfriend ... in church. Oh, and her name? Her mother is Lynne Spears and her father is ... Jamie Spears. Figures.

Mike Huckabee (his family Christmas card shown here) would no doubt approve. Somewhere in the Kremlin, there is some FSB drone who is desperately trying to figure out ways to provide campaign financing to Mike Huckabee: "Vladimir, we have got to get this guy elected ... more fun, even, than Jimmy Carter!!!"
