I heard your interview on Think from NPR. You mentioned the odd spikes in baby name searches. I have a couple suggestions that might help you. Women find out the sex of the their baby in their second trimester. They may also be looking for names at the end of their pregancy, in anticipation of the delivery. I would also consider the first month of pregnancy since women find out they are pregnant within 4 weeks of conception. So I would plot the spikes in births and then count back one month, 4 months, and 7 months. Don’t forget, births spike after a major event, such as a natural disaster, 9/11, or a major war. I hope this helps.

It is to bad to see all the hoopla over Sarah Palin, it sounds like most of guys just need to buy a playboy book. Face the facts she could be the next women incharge of our country wow that is really scarry. Do you really like the way the country is running now well it is the RED party whom has done it to us . Vote BLUE and save your jobs,home,schools and taxes. Or vote red and protect the rich after all why should they pay taxes there companies are over seas providing jobs. Just take a look at the label on anything you buy.

I Am Somewhat Confused?
I’m a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight…..
If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you’re
‘exotic, different.’
Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, a quintessential American
story.
If your name is Barack you’re a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you’re a maverick.
Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you’re well
grounded.
If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the
first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a vote r
reg istration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years
as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator
representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of
the state Senate’s Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years
in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people
while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs,
Environment and Public Works and Veteran’s Affairs committees,
you don’t have any real leadership experience.
If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city
council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000
people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people,
then you’re qualified to become the country’s second highest
ranking executive.
If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while
raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant c hurches, you’re
not a real Christian.
If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your
disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you’re a
Christian.
If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including
the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.
If , while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no
other option in sex education in your state’s school system while your
unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant , you’re very responsible.
If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in
a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city
community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family’s values
don’t represent America’s.
If you’re husband is nicknamed ‘First Dude’, with at
least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn’t
register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group
that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family
is extremely admirable.
OK, much clearer now.

Yeah, I hear what you are saying Eddie J… You are absolutely right. But I’ll just be honest. Palin is a gilf and Obama is black. Guess I’ll be voting republican.

The more Sara P. bashes Obama the more we take up for Obama so keep it up Sara! Also why doesn’t someone bring up the Savings and Loan that went under? Keating was a big friend of McCaine and his little wife Cindy borrowed money from Lincoln before they went down and this is where she got her money to buy their realestate making her the little rich girl.

I read that the Palins made approx 137,000 in 2007 and paid approx.11,000 in taxes. Thats not even ten percent. Ive already paid in 13,000 and have only made 58,000. My wife and I both work full time and have two daughters in college. We pay there rents,insurances,bought them autos etc. Among many other amenities. The palins have five kids. And it was mentioned that they shelter their money in IRAs and 401 ks. How can they make it with no money in their pocket? Some of her comments were incorrectly stated and corrected on national news. How stupid does she think the general public is? In order for the reps to get any votes in this election,all the brain deads will have to go out and vote. I dont like to be taken as a fool. If they lye now they will lose then.
