Sarah Palin just lost her absurd libel case against The New York Times after the jury deliberated for only two hours.
Nibble on that little schadenfreude, you godless heathens.
"Given all he faced politically and socially and all he managed to learn through his openness and all he accomplished in spite of those once intractable obstacles that plagued the progress of the Church… who am I to judge him?"

I obviously don't agree with the politics of Mr. Vargas Llosa, but my goodness, what an interesting life. Utterly fascinating.
Mr. Vargas Llosa, who ran for Peru’s presidency in 1990 and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2010, transformed episodes from his personal life into books that reverberated far beyond the borders of his native country.
I've had folks ask me if they should still shop at Target.
You gotta do what's right for you. I haven't shopped at Target in well over a year, ever since they removed Pride merch.

The U.S. government has submitted a two-page memo from Secretary of State Marco Rubio as its main evidence in its deportation case against Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil. The memo obtained by The Associated Press does not allege criminal conduct by Khalil but cites a legal provision that gives the government authority to deport people whose presence in the U.S. compromises a U.S. foreign policy interest. The submission was filed Wednesday in Louisiana immigration court after a judge there ordered the government to produce its evidence against Khalil. The judge said she plans to decide Friday whether it has enough evidence to continue detaining Khalil.
