Apparently a large number of Americans are surprised that Bristol Palin is still on "Dancing With the Stars". I've seen her on the show only a couple of times but she has really improved as a dancer - and isn't that what it's all about?
Some people have suggested that Bristol is getting votes because of her famous mom. But she was quoted a few days as saying that as many people dislike her mom as like her.
That makes sense to me. I'm willing to believe that Bristol is hanging in there on her own merits. And good for her.
In a related story in this morning's Minneapolis Star Tribune, a Wisconsin man, apparently fueled by several beverages, blasted his television with a shotgun, because (apparently again) he was enraged by Bristol's performance on "DWTS." Officers coaxed him out of his house after an all-night standoff.
When Dave told this story to the young lady who served us our lunch today, her only response was:
"Those people in Wisconsin are crazy!"
