Bad Husband, Worse Father – 76% Impulsive
October 15, 2008
NBC Affiliate WBIR out of Knoxville, TN (we’re talking deep south here people) is reporting that an American Red Cross worker, Mark Ciptak, sort of-kind of-maybe named his daughter Sarah McCain Palin in an awkward tribute to the Republican presidential nominee.
“With a clear conscience, even though I know I was kind of going behind her back, I kind of secretly put down Sarah McCain Palin instead of Ava Grace on another set of forms I acquired from the front desk.”
And I quote.. “I kind of secretly..” His wife is going to slaughter him. Slaughter him dead.
And people wonder why the South lost the war. Fortunately, under Tennessee law the name on a birth certificate maybe be changed within one year of birth by filing an affidavit with the court. Looks like this thickheaded gaffe is going to cost Mr. Ciptak some court fees and a lot of public embarrassment. Hopefully he’ll be in his right mind to change it and save his daughter from public ridicule.
At least it’s not as embarrassing as Sex Fruit, or Fat Boy, two names handed out under Australia’s loose naming laws.

I would KILL my husband if he did that!!! That guy really likes “kind of” doing things. It makes you wonder who was at the front desk that allowed him to do that. I know if it was me, I would have checked with the mother to verify. The really ironic part of that is that McCain/Palin lost the election, and by the time she is is in college most people won’t even remember who Sarah Palin or John McCain are.
Give me two years and they’ll be a passing memory. Until election season 2012 starts… in 2010. And their names will be all over the news media and pundits will be tossing out ideas a year too early and making off predictions and citing the latest polls. We need a break!
