From CNN: Great-Great Grandma at 67!

Cnn.com has a story on Ms. Alice Mills from Philadelphia who is being evicted from her home because her landlord can't afford the mortgage.

It's a sad story; this housing crisis is a big problem for a lot of people. But what struck me about this story is that Alice Mills at the age of 67 is a great-great grandma.

How does one become a great-great grandma at 67? This means that everyone of her offsprings' offsprings had to have had children at 16 or 17.

Let's do the math. Alice Mills has four generations below her:

-So if she had a child at 17 she would be a mom.
-If her child had a baby at 17, she would be 34, making her a grandmother.
-If that baby had a mistake at 17, then she would be 51 and a great-grandmother.
-And if that mistake had a bastard at 16, Alice would be 67 and now a great-great grandmother.

I don't know, Alice, but I think you getting booted is just one of many screw-ups in your family.

**Update**
I found this tidbit in the article under a picture of Alice:

"Mills says she's packed up and ready to move, but for now she says she has no place to go."

I thought being a great-great grandmother at 67 was incredible, but having four generations turn you away tops that.

Who's Hot?: CNN's Candy Crowley

Is it the way she can name every member of the Senate or the way she can shut Wolf Blitzer up? It's obviously not her hair, but something about CNN's Candy Crowley makes me hot! She's a college girl too!

Sanjay Gupta, MD

I don't understand CNN. Why do they just give every story to Doctor Sanjay Gupta? Next week they are having a "Planet in Peril" series. So who do they call? Why, Dr. Sanjay Gupta of course. He's a medical doctor, that must mean he has expertise in environmental studies. No, it doesn't. I don't care about his opinion on environmental issues since he is a medical doctor.

They did this when Anna Nicole Smith died too. So they called him up and he was making diagnoses on how she died. I ended up screaming at the television, "You were not present for her death, you are not performing the autopsy, you don't know shit about what happened, stop trying to act like you do!!" At least that time it was on a medical topic, not the environment.
