* Melissa Harris Perry had by far the most nuanced and grown up conversation about the Charlie Hebdo murders in a French and Global context that I've seen so far. It lasted the whole show, so I'm just going to link to the start. http://on.msnbc.com/14GnMIk

Note: She also thinks it would be a good idea to force everyone not born to the 1% to work aprox: 48 hours a week at manual labour jobs plus presumably a second job to pay for food and housing while going to college. I am confused as to when she thinks they will have time to go to class let along do all the homework.

Obviously this is secondary to her massive endorsement of rape culture, but I thought we should to a moment to think about how incredibly classist and out of touch Republican thinkers are these days as well as being generally pro-rape, anti-education, and against women having any chance f economic success or personal fulfillment.
