Jim Martin

Here s a PSA for childhood literacy produced by The Roots, featuring the voice talents of Jack Black, Chris Martin, John Legend, Regina Spektor, Jim James, Nate Ruess, Jason Schwartzman, Melanie Fiona, Carrie Brownstein, Consequence, and Levar Burton (Burton is a frickin literacy-curiosity-inspiring powerhouse.) It s just a fun, happy one-minute video about literary characters hanging out, and it seems like something kids would really like (do kids still like things these days, or only that damn Nintendo?) You could say they re really attacking the ROOTS of the problem? BOOM! AND THE ROOTS THEMSELVES CAN PLAY THE RIMSHOT! It s all gonna work out fine, people: (via CriticalMob)

The shooting of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin has raised questions about "stand your ground" laws that are in effect in half the states in the country. At the NRA convention, members say they not only support such laws, but want other concealed weapons laws expanded. Jim Axelrod reports.

Some of the biggest names in comedy describe how they got their start with Chicago's legendary improv troupe. Rare early performance clips intermix with producers reminiscing about the early days of John Belushi, John Candy, Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, and more. This uproarious documentary also includes interviews with Dan Aykroyd, Alan Arkin, Jim Belushi, Mike Myers, Harold Ramis, Martin Short, and Tina Fey.

Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., joins Morning Joe to discuss what President Obama should do if the Supreme Court rules his health-care law is unconstitutional, and the latest in the Trayvon Martin killing.

The Herman Cain scandal continues to unfold, Stephen says goodbye to a classic dessert, and Father Jim Martin discusses the role of humor in a spiritual life.

Herman Cain blames Democrats for his sexual harassment woes, Stephen defends his Americone Dream, and Father Jim Martin thinks that Jesus was funny.

Father Jim Martin believes that Jesus had a great sense of humor, but most people in the 21st century just don't get his jokes.
