Stephen Colbert on Jesus and the Poor →
I know this is a bit late as this aired last week, but from 3:30 until the end of the video is quite possibly the best 4 minutes and thirty seconds I’ve ever seen aired on television.

Home.
I am officially home for the holidays. Well, except for the weekend of the 18th, as I’ll be back at school for some exams; but save for that short time, I am home. It’s a wonderful feeling, coming back to the people you love.
