Well, that reported $300,000 that People magazine payed Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston for pics of their new baby is looking like a much-welcome reserve right about now. Via the Anchorage Daily News:

Levi Johnston, the boyfriend of Gov. Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol, has quit his North Slope oil field job over questions about his eligibility to work in an electrical apprenticeship program, Johnston's father said Monday.

The sticking point in the apprenticeship? Johnston dropped out of high school, and a diploma is required. Coincidentally, Sarah's husband, Todd, also works at the same oil field.

But the moral of this story is pretty clear. As James Brown put it in his soul classic, "Don't be a Dropout"

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
