He always went by Farrow, the name is on his birth certificate.

Jane, Didn't they change it though after the Soon Yi and Dylan situation? You can have your name changed on your birth certificate. This isn't a challenge, just a question.

His name was Satchmo. I don't think his last name was ever Allen though.

Oh wait...now I remember it was Satchel...still don't know about the last name for sure.

And now it's time for Downton Abbey so maybe I'll catch up later on it.

Your're correct he was named after Satchel Paige.

And you are also correct: His birth name according to Wikipedia Ronan Farrow (born Satchel Ronan O'Sullivan Farrow; December 19, 1987) (I had time to look it up while waiting for everybody to get settled to watch the show )

PS: The article said she named him Farrow because she didn't want him to be the only child with the last name of ""Allen"" in the family amongst all those Previns and Farrows.

I think Mia is a very strange woman.

Mia might be a strange woman but it doesn't take away what her son has accomplished.

She only apologized after the heat didn't go away.

If she hadn't set it up for mockery in the first place she wouldn't have had a need to apologize for anything her guests said. She knew better, especially as a bi-racial newscaster. It was a total setup to make fun of Romney, and it backfired on her in a big way. I'm sure her apology was mostly genuine, the almost tears were a nice touch, but also "encouraged" if she wanted to keep her job. The whole thing was shameful and in very poor taste.

If I'm not mistaken this 'commentator' made some strange comments about our children not being our own last year. She really needs to go unless the brass truly believes the faux tears will make every thing right as rain, lol.

And he's only 26??????????

Lou Dobbs comment?

Lara Logan debacle? Why does she and her producers still have jobs? Where's the outcry about the 60 minutes report and CBS owning the publishing company of the book the liar wrote?

MHP's "strange comments about our children not being our own," has been misrepresented and taken out of context.

Here is what she said,

“We have never invested as much in public education as we should have,” she says in the spot. “We haven’t had a very collective notion of, these are our children. We have to break through our private idea that kids belong to their parents, or kids belong to their families, and recognize that kids belong to whole communities. Once it’s everybody’s responsibility and not just the household’s, we start making better investments.”

It means that as a country we need to understand we are responsible for the education and well being of all children. I've heard many people say things like I don't have kids or my kids are grown so why should I pay for someone else's kids to go to school.
