Thirdly, Democrats can hone in on faith-based initiatives. If there’s one thing that 2004 taught us, it is that much of America is quite fond of Jesus. So are most black voters. If Democrats were to back faith-based initiatives that provide supplemental education to public schooling (e.g., the Martin Luther King Afterschool Initiative run in Dorchester by Harvard’s Department of African and African American Studies and Rev. Eugene Rivers) and outreach to poor communities, this would win back the Black vote and help fight the perception of Democrats as godless heathens...
...army of young volunteers and a team of lawyers and political experts working on his behalf. John Kerry had everything on his side as the challenger to the incumbent and yet he still lost the presidential election. He lost because he didn’t have the support of Jesus.

...outsider art” has an endearing quirkiness; to be more honest, but also less politically correct, you might say that it’s a little bit crazy in a very good way. Perhaps the best example of this quality is provided by the Cuban-American artist Felipe Jesus Consalvos, whose work consists of the most visually hectic but utterly stunning collages I have ever seen; in one of my favorites, “Home of the Nature Freak,” a giant bull’s head drives a purple convertible along the roof of Carnegie Hall...
