    From The Atlantic piece, quoting Phillips: “I wish I could see … the [young men] could put that energy into making this country really great … helping those that are hungry.”
    The best way to ‘feed the hungry’ is to find some hungry people and give them, you know, food. Banging a goddam drum has never put food into anyone’s belly. You want to make a bunch of hungry people happy? Give them a couple of bags of bags of McDonalds or BK hamburgers.

    Hi all. Some sad news. As of this morning, HuffPost’s opinion section is no more. I and the rest of the team have been let go.
