So Bristol Palin, Sarah Palin's daughter, competed in Dancing With The Stars. She stood third overall. A bloomin miracle, as the Brits say. She was consistently scored low by the judges, but the political fan of her mother pushed her up, up and away. A lot of people think the GOP can't wait to knock Sarah Palin off her perch.

Immigration is a hot button topic in the Developed World. It's a fairly unnatural practice, if you consider how easily we could get the same benefits by moving ideas, rather than people, around .
