This is an interesting story about the fight over Kafka's papers. The Castle is one of my favorite novels of all time. And to think, the world never would have seen it if Max Brod had complied with Kafka's last request to have his papers burned.

Sarah Palin's 17 year old daughter Bristol is pregnant. Hmmmm. The daughter of an anti-choice, right-wing, no-sex-before-marriage, Republican. As Dr. Phil would say: How is that "Abstinence-only" sex education working for you?

Perhaps Palin will do the right thing, and resign her vice presidential nomination, so she can spend more time with her *family.* It sounds like she really needs to.
