Resolutions
Happy New Year (as late as it may be)! I usually don’t make resolutions, because instead I give myself short-term and long-term goals regardless of the day those goals are set. However, I resolve to update this blog more often. My professional life is busy and challenging, and most of the things I do are probably boring to most, but once in a while I get to do something that would excite even the non-PR geeks out there.
Today I will spare you from my work updates. Instead, something I considerable quite humorous and laughable, especially on this 30-degree Sanibel Island Monday morning.
Bristol Palin
Sarah Palin’s daugher, Bristol (yes, the 19-year-old single mother), has opened up her own PR firm. Using her initials, BSMP LLC, employs one – herself. Her filing paperwork said that the firm “intends to provide lobbying, public relations, and political consulting services.” I’m all for working moms, even single mothers, but this is in no way a rational decision. You don’t open up your own PR company at 19. Design work, book editing, and skilled trades are one thing. But you wouldn’t ask a 19-year-old with no experience to perform heart surgery or represent you in a murder case. So why would you ask that same girl to counsel you on your company’s reputation? It’s one thing that she’s Bristol Palin. Her and her mother have ruined their family’s reputation. However, she is still a 19-year-old with no experience. She needs to get an internship at a big firm or an in-house job. And then try again in 10 years.
