By Lauren Frayer - AOL News
(Dec. 2) -- A jury in Delaware has awarded $30 million to a man who says he was sexually abused by a Catholic priest more than 100 times as a teenager in the 1960s. It's believed to be the single largest payout to any church abuse victim in U.S. history. But it's unclear when the victim, John Vai, will get his money. The Diocese of Wilmington declared bankruptcy last year and has said it can afford to pay only $2 million in damages to abuse victims, and six other people have also filed lawsuits against the diocese alleging abuse. "I think the jury is making a statement ... telling the world ...
Following Sarah Palin's Model, Christine O'Donnell Heads to 'The Tonight Show'

By Mara Gay - AOL News
(Nov. 3) -- Christine O'Donnell isn't letting a little thing like a big loss get in the way of midterm election fun. The tea-party-backed GOP Senate candidate was plainly trounced by Democrat Chris Coons in a race many say helped map out the limits of the tea party's influence. But while the colorful candidate may be off the mat, she's still fighting on, railing against the Republican Party's leadership and vowing to hold Democrats accountable for their big-spending ways. The defiance came through loud and clear in her concession speech Tuesday night, which was just about as unorthodox as ...
