I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, 'wouldn't it be much worse if life *were* fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them?' So now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe. - M. Cole

I suspect that by endorsing Trump, Palin was hoping for another shot at the VP spot – she’s too dumb to understand that Trump is a user, he’ll get all of the milage he can out of her, with her Tea Party idiots, then toss her aside like a used tea bag.
John Cleese, of Monte Python fame, once remarked of Sarah, “ And here I’d always thought that Michael was the funny Palin —“

Actually, there are FAR greater pieces of literature than Paul’s epistle to the Romans – he was sucking up, hoping for a handout for his upcoming trip to Spain, which, fortunately for the Spanish, he never got to take.

Actually Nan wrote a great book, one I really enjoyed and thought far superior to your myths that you favor such as contained in the book of Romans. I have serious doubts you would have read her book, or have the capacity to enjoy it, but you really should give it a try, it may open your eyes a bit. Her book shows clearly just how silly the Christian bible myths really are.

CS wrote a post recently, mourning the death of Judge Scalia, late of the Supremes, calling him, “THE pillar of the court.”
He went further, to quote from Scalia’s dissenting opinion regarding DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act):
