Gone parentin’
I’ll be off-line for the next week or so: My wife and I welcomed our second child into the world this morning! It’s another boy — name still TBD — and he and his mama are resting well this afternoon. Life truly is miraculous, and I’m a thankful, proud papa today.

Congratulations Kyle!! No suggestion on the name from me, but just make sure it’s something easy to spell. No need to start your son off behind the 8-ball.

Well, now that we have helped Kyle decide on a name for (temporarily referred to as #2) we must delve in important philosophical questions. Unless you are a droll troll, please answer the poll! One answer only…
#1 How soon should baby boy play in Super Bowl? Next week? Next year? Every April Fool’s Day?
#2 If baby boy eats spinach, what will he join? Army? Navy? Marines? Boy Scouts?
#3 Should baby boys accept gifts from lobbyists? Yes? No? Only if they are good ones?
#4 If you were a baby boy, would you build a stadium? Yes? No? Only if last name is BLANK?
#5 Should baby boys demand ethics in the nursery? You bet! I came with ‘em! Forget it!
#6 When “burping” on shoulder, whom should baby boys favor? Mom? Dad? GrandMa? Cleaning lady?
#7 Can baby boys vote after having their picture taken? Yes? No? Only in some states? Hawaii?
#8 If baby boy is named “Sue”, what should he do? Go to court? Call Johnny Cash? Be a lawyer?
#9 If baby boy wants to be a journalist, what should he do? Learn sanskrit? Finish high school? Have a rich uncle?
#10 If baby boy is faced with bloggers, what should he do? Hide? Throw up? Call Dad asap?

Good luck! We will need a nice chart to show results. Volunteer?

just make sure it’s something easy to spell.
Bob is about as easy as you can get. It’s the same coming as going.
I used to know a guy whose parents named him Glenn. He changed it to Glen, though. Said he just felt like he was done writing after the first “n”.

Elijah Wingfield?
I’ve still got three comments “in moderation”. No biggie.
The moderator might’ve thought they were jacked.
Jackson?

Boy, if I had a nickle for every time I heard that excuse for taking time off . . .
Congrats, Kyle!
Oh, and Thurston Wingfield is just the ticket !!

Congratulations Kyle! And don’t you dare name that child “Wright.” He will be teased unmercifully because of your last name. Pick a nice family name so those connections with the past are brought into the future.

Another Conservative star is born: Ronald Goldwater Wingfield.
(That ought to make the resident Marxist comrades on your blog cringe, Kyle)
Anyhow, good to hear all is well with the family and congratulations.

Congratulations to you and your wife, Kyle, enjoy the time together. Make many videos, just the everyday stuff when we think nothing is happening. Those will be the most precious.
And please don’t allow anyone to show your wife the name suggestion…

My wife reminds me that Phil Mickelson already owns “Lefty”, so, unfortunately,…

As to what you do if he begins to favor his left hand… well, I know’ll love him anyway.
Probably.

Please don’t name him Otis. I worked with a woman who named her son Otis. Normally I don’t say anything negative about the names parents choose, but my facial expression gave me away, then my mouth followed…
“Seriously? Why the heck would you name him Otis?”
What can I say…I was overwhelmed.

Kyle, Re: naming – FIND his name, he already sent you a message about what his name is, while he was waiting to be born. All you have to do is find the name. Believe me, you will know it when you find it or your wife will already know it. Congratulations!!!!

Geez, Mom has a baby and dad takes off from work? From writing a BLOG? Something he can do from HOME? What a whiny little leftist. Sucking up the bennies from that socialist FMLA now aren’t you? How typically right wing hypocritical.
LOL Taking bets if THIS one gets through the left wing anti-first amendment screeners from this mainstream media left wing rag lol.
Oh the Irony little Kyle and your minions, oh the irony…………

Dagnabit. I hit enter too soon. Congrats Kyle. All political BS aside (even though you ARE enjoying the bennies forced through by the left) enjoy that little guy. We only had the one. I wouldn’t mind another one (or 4 lol)

Kyle,
I have praised the balance viewpoints in your writing in the past, but th efact you couldn’t come up with a name in 9 months makes me wonder.
Just name him Jay.
