Meet Wilson and Maria, Homeless People Who Will Give You Hope



Wilson and Maria have been living under a church vestibule for five years, which was when their home in Brooklyn was evacuated and demolished because the landlord was stealing gas from the building next door.

GOP 2012 and The Big Mo'



The good people of Iowa must be insanely relieved to bid goodbye to the media circus that surrounded the Iowa Caucus of 2012. A record total of $12 million was spent, and all for what?

Isn’t there a better way for these semi-corporate humans to gain momentum? Let’s put our heads together and come up with an easier way for the 2012 Republican hopefuls to find the Big Mo’ and give states like Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina a break.

Some suggestions:

-Roll Chris Christie down a hill

-Put Anthony Weiner in charge of their Twitter accounts

-Broadcast the next GOP debate at 2x speed

-Raise the voting age to white

What are YOUR ideas, DU? Let's give these knuckleheads some good advice.
