  • Do as I say, not as I do.

    Given the Palin women's penchants for financial opportunism and unusual child names, maybe the next offspring to come out that family could be named "Cha-Ching Palin".

    In 2009, Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol joined a teen pregnancy prevention nonprofit called the Candie’s Foundation. Today, the Associated Press reported that the Candie’s Foundation released its 2009 tax information, revealing that Bristol was paid a salary of $262,500.

    But a closer examination of the tax form by ThinkProgress shows that the group disbursed only $35,000 in grants to actual teen pregnancy health and counseling clinics: $25,000 to the Mt. Sinai Adolescent Health Center and $10,000 to the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy.

     
    Thus, the nonprofit paid Bristol over seven times what it paid to teen pregnancy prevention groups.
     

    Curious I'm hearing about this two months late and from a science blogger.
