Wha-wha-whaaaa?
After resigning as governor in late July, Palin spent most of August in San Diego working with [Lynn] Vincent on the book, “Going Rogue: An American Life.” Rumors swirled about Palin sightings at Vincent’s condo complex in north San Diego County. Palin reportedly was joined here by her family and top aide, Meghan Stapleton.
Fuck. We would have been happy to have coffee with Palin while she was in town, maybe even write a Facebook column for her. But no, she never called. Bitch.

It used to be called in loco parentis — the policy of colleges to accept parental responsibility for their students. In which case, Tufts has some really cool parents:
The Office of Residential Life and Learning (ResLife) has added a new stipulation to its guest policy that prohibits any sex act in a dorm room while one’s roommate is present. The stipulation further states that any sexual activity in the room should not interfere with a roommate’s privacy, study habits or sleep.
Note that Tufts isn’t saying you can’t shag on their shags. Just be polite about it, yo.

Sarah Palin’s new book, Going Rogue, will be published ahead of schedule — 1.5 million copies hitting the streets November 17:
Harper publisher Jonathan Burnham says the former Alaska governor invested herself deeply and passionately in the project.
Ah. File under “Fiction,” then. Or will her Facebook ghostwriter finally be revealed?

Orly Taitz, last seen being repeatedly whacked by the judge in a birther case where she wouldn’t shut the fuck up, is not done mooning Your Honor. She’s asking to “withdraw as counsel” for her client — who already fired her — in order to rat out said client:
In order to defend herself, the undersigned counsel will have to contest and potentially appeal any sanctions order in her own name alone, separately from the Plaintiff, by offering and divulging what would normally constitute inadmissible and privileged attorney-client communications…
Future Orly clients, consider this your only warning: You’re on notice.

Update: Orly severed from Plaintiff; neither severed from responsibility; finking not authorized.
