Tuesday Open Thread

Update: For some reason, the "recent comments" in the sidebar have been disappearing. The only thing I can think of is perhaps some commenters used too many characters in the subject line of their comments, making them not fit in the space. So can you please try using short subject lines in your comments for a while so I can see if that's the problem? Thanks.

It's been days since our last open thread. Here's a new one, all topics welcome.

He read the wrong name. Ms. Colombia, who doesn't speak English and used an interpreter all night, had no idea what happened. Either did Ms. Philippines, the intended winner, even though she does speak English.

Time's person of the year is Angela Merkel (no link, autoplay audio/video.) You can read a summary of her career here.

Donald Trump is threatening to run as an Independent if Republicans don't treat him fairly. He cites some poll that says 68% of his Republican followers would vote for him as an Independent. (no link due to auto-playing videos on all links I could find.) [More....]
