Born in 1961 to Dominican immigrants, Perez has spent his entire public life in adult service, with a specific focus on social justice and equality. He attended Brown University and later Harvard, but not as one of the privileged youth whom many might imagine in the halls of these costly institutions of higher learning — he took out student loans, applied for need-based grants and even worked as a trash collector to pay for his education. While in school, Perez also worked as a clerk for Attorney General Edwin Meese, laying the groundwork for a lengthy career that would span a variety of civil service positions.

Mmmmm so good.

Kasich: "I'm the son of a mailman."
Cruz: "I'm the son of a dishwasher."
Rubio: "I'm the son of a maid and a bartender."

Perez: "Bitch, I was a trash collector."

Perfect biography.

As a clerk and federal prosecutor, Perez had a particular interest in civil rights cases. His grounding in the subject led to a professorship at the University of Maryland, as well as a part-time position at George Washington University.

From 2002-2006, Perez served on the Montgomery County Council, dominating his Republican opponent in the election and becoming the first Latino on the Council. During his tenure, he fought predatory and subprime lending, concerned about the looming financial crisis that many of his fellow politicians were ignoring. Perez also opposed the privatization and conglomeration of health care, as well as rising costs for prescription medications.

In 2007, the state’s newly-elected governor appointed Perez to serve as Maryland’s Secretary of Labor, a role he took to with relish. He challenged employer fraud and the misclassification of workers as independent contractors, an issue that’s become a significant issue in the tech industry of today.

From there, Perez moved to the position of Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights under the tenure of President Barack Obama. He served in the Justice Department until 2013.

Perez turned out to be a fiery, adept and aggressive litigator with a passionate range of civil rights interests including bullying, hate crimes, voter intimidation, police shootings, student discrimination, veteran protection and voter identification laws. He successfully prosecuted and investigated a range of cases, establishing an extremely strong civil rights background.

I'm feeling Sec. Perez. Did some research on him and I'm definitely feeling it. He's recently been confirmed, so I'm guessing there are no huge skeletons. He's got far left cred. He's outside the current Clinton Bubble. He's younger than Hillary, but not to an insane degree. I like it. .

This post actually just reminds me that Bill is going have to come up with a bunch of cookie recipes and things this year. I wonder how that's going to go.

You dare insinuate the author of this legendary http://www.ign.com/articles/2011/10/22/the-playstation-vita-is-set-to-succeed article could be wrong about anything? Pshaw!
For better or for worse, Vita will be pitted against the Nintendo 3DS. But the comparison doesn't make a whole lot of sense, and even if you were to pit them against each other, Vita is still destined to sell better. That's because in addition to games (which Nintendo 3DS is still sorely lacking), it's also a much more powerful machine capable of doing a whole lot more than 3DS.

Obama being the son of a goat herder is still the, well, GOAT hard upbringing story. His dad's job was something that people haven't done in this country for like a century. The only thing that could top that would be something like professional corpse snatcher.

I really want HA Goodman to stop, not even because it annoys me that much, but because it embarrasses me to watch someone humiliate themselves in public like that.

EDIT: Also, Gawker's dead? Goodbye, you will not be missed at all.

Just because policy got pulled rightward on taxes by the GOP doesn't mean that economic though followed there. They're two separate things.

Pretty disrespectful to dismiss the big time insights and contributions that imaginative folks like Joan Robinson, Keynes, and Lerner brought to the field of economics in the 30s, 40s, 50s, and so on. Google scholar or your local library should have free material available from that era and work from many other original thinkers. Golden age of capitalism should also be accessible as well.

Ugh. That swimwear coverup is a fashion faux pas. There are modest swim wear cover ups that look good.

Well who didn't feel a little emo when we listen to Just Like Heaven?

And Robert Smith saved the world.. Can we all say the same thing? I think not.

Slayven, Daredevil Season 2 is worth watching? Because if it doesn't meet that deal of approval, it's not worth my time.

Both Jesus and Bernie are Jewish.

Both care about the poor.

Both have /some/ followers that are a little disturbing.

He's rather creepy around women. Perhaps creepy isn't the perfect word but I've seen him awkwardly try to hit on women multiple times and it was weird and desperate. Surprised no one has said anything given the current climate on that type of stuff.
