Belly and Conrad were obviously endgame, but there were plenty of trysts, hookups, missed connections, and plenty of heartbreak along the way, not just for Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah, but for Laurel, Steven, Susannah, and, ugh, Adam.

Imagine saying this about an agency that has helped millions of people around the world avoid malaria, obtain clean water, and gain access to food & health care. Especially when you’re the world’s richest man & your net worth is something like 20 times this agency’s annual budget. What a foul soul.

Please remember that President Carter appointed more minorities and women to the bench than all previous presidents combined. He was the first President to embrace the concept of bringing racial diversity to the federal bench. A key aspect of his legacy.

What a convenient way to remove Ninoy Aquino’s face from the 500-peso bill. But it’s not just him—the heroes on the 1,000-peso bill, Jose Abad Santos, Vicente Lim, and Josefa Llanes Escoda, have also been erased. Poor Philippines. We are a nation that disregards our own history and memory.
