Is anyone surprised that Texas Talibangelist Joel Osteen's pious spouse might be less a madonna and more like Leona Helmsley? (NYT); Treated like a rock star by her followers, Victoria Osteen, 47, is co-pastor of Lakewood Church, one of the nation's largest and fastest-growing megachurches. With a halo of perfectly coiffed blond hair, she preaches about love and acceptance alongside her husband, Joel, to more than 40,000 congregants every Sunday.
But she was portrayed in court on Thursday as imperious, combative and possibly racist in a dispute with a Continental Airlines flight attendant, Sharon Brown. Full story...
Why did she do it? Because she was concerned that her boyfriend would dump her if he found out the baby wasn't his.

Wonder what the First Trollop will say about this.
If the first decision a presidential candidate makes about who will succeed him/her in an emergency is an indication of overall judgment, John McCain is unelectable.
In an August 2006 the Anchorage Daily News reported on the social policy positions of the candidates then running for governor, including GOP Vice-Presidential nominee Sarah Palin, Of particular interest are Palin's positions on gay marriage and state benefits for same-sex partners.
UPDATE: 8:35 AM MT: CNN confirms that it's one-term Alaska Governor Palin. This will be fun. What a desperate Hail Mary.
The bacon gained speed trotting down the runway and improbably soared, aloft in the clouds -- the reaction to Barack Obama's acceptance speech earned glowing reviews all across the political spectrum:
MSNBC Pat Buchanan - "It was a genuinely outstanding speech.
