No offense, ladies, but I find this whole thread to be a couple of things 
but one of them I'll mention here.  Y'all don't need tin foil hats for this 
conspiracy theory.  Y'all need help <g>

Do you seriously think that back in April that Palin knew that she was going 
to be given the nod for the VP position and she "planted" those stories in 
the news about the baby?  Seriously?

BTW, LEAKING amniotic fluid is NOT synonomous with "water breaking." 
Homework folks, homework.

AND, y'all might want to take note of the fact that DS is much less likely 
to occur in someone with the Palin kids ethnic mix.  Seems the First People 
have a much lower rate of DS births (.82) than the rest of the population 
(1.52).  Also, I wonder if they are in a fluoridated area and if not, then 
you can cut those numbers in half!  Folks such as Sarah Palin are in the 
target age group, etc.

O.K., any cops on this list?  What's the general feeling about eye witness 
testimony AND after-the-fact 15 minutes of fame testimony?

So, as an example of the reliability of "eye witness" testimony, I'll take 
some real life experiences.  I drove the very first rootbeer brown and cream 
GMC 3/4 ton 4x4 long wheel-base truck (I custom ordered the sucker and it 
was the first one with that color combo off the line) which was, shall we 
say, unique.  I pulled a 22' forest green stock trailor with Pacific Coast 
Gymkhana Champion and APHA World Halter Futurity Champion and several other 
appropriate plaques and stickers plastered all over it.  Parked that combo 
right smack dab in front of a house, and with with the help of two rather 
large, well tatooed, scary looking dudes (Misfits to be exact), repo'd a 
Harley ('67 Sportster, as a matter of fact <g>).  Waltzed right up the 
driveway, went in the garage and waltzed back out again with the motorcycle 
and loaded it in the trailer.  The guy the ex sold the motorcycle to called 
the police and reported it stolen.  NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON gave an accurate 
description of my truck and trailer.  In fact, not one single person said 
anything about a truck and stock trailer!  I guess the one that came closest 
said there was a green van.  AND, both the dimwit I repo'd the Sportster 
from AND the cop that came out failed to look at the notice of reposession I 
tacked on the garage door!

Second example, I have brown eyes.   Black until I was about 4 or 5 and 
gradually have lightened to a dark hazel.  All through my pregnancy with Son 
#3, I sang with DH's band.  Had frosted hair.  One woman came to most of the 
gigs.  To this day, she swears I lied about being pregnant and that I must 
wear contacts because she knows I had blue eyes back then!  NOT ONE person 
knew I was pregnant.  Everyone who came to the shows still swears that I 
wasn't preggers!

So?  And she went to work 3 days later.  So?  I went out and took care of 
horses 5 days after a c-section and I'm not super woman, believe me!
