Melissa Harris-Perry on the role of faith in... →
When I saw that Maddow Blog had posted this, and that it was an extra segment they’d filmed because even thought they had to cut it from the broadcast, they thought it was so important, I got really excited. I also love discussions on the role of faith and politics, because my faith influences my politics a lot and yet I also feel the need to separate my faith from my politics at the same...

Today's crossword puzzle of the day →
67 Across: “A Room of One’s Own” writer wearing a wool sweater? Answer: Woolf in sheep’s clothing.
113 Across: Not as hard to pronounce as some 17th-century poetry? Answer: Easier said than Donne.
Also, the correct spelling of Challah. Also, Linda Eder, but not just randomly Linda Eder, but in reference to Jekyll & Hyde. Well done, LA Times, well done.

They’re best friends. I can’t remember the last time I saw Jorge so happy. (probably ‘09). Thye’ve been best friends for years. It’s not as…high profile a bromance as Jeet and A-Rod. But this love is forever. ♥

Appreciating my privilege
Today, I watched as a man reached into a trash can and pulled out someone else’s discarded leftovers. This was not in a back alley, or on the street.

This man was so desperate for food that he was willing to eat trash in front of plenty of...
