According to her followers, Santa Muerte is not above pleasures of the flesh, even though she has no flesh. She prefers feathered boas and sequined gowns to celestial blue robes illuminated by the sun. She likes chocolates and flaunts rows of rings on each finger. She chain-smokes, and drinks her whiskey straight.

"She was sent to rescue the lost, society's rejects," Ms. Solís said. "She understands us, because she is a cabrona like us," the street merchant added, using a Mexican expletive. "We are hard people and we live hard lives. But she accepts us all, when we do good and bad."

Adam Liptak reports for the Times:

"Opposition to interracial marriage in the last century was in many ways more vehement than opposition to gay marriage today. It was, for instance, a criminal offense in many states. None of the 38 states that expressly forbid gay marriage by statute today go that far."

Spike Lee on Oscar, Halle BerryLee: Lemme ask a question. How many nominations did Cold Mountain get? ... When you ever seen a film that takes place during slavery with no slaves in it?

AP: People have been agitating about that.

Lee: Lemme ask you a question. When I was in third and fourth grade, there was a re-release of Gone with the Wind, and our teacher took us to see it. This was like '67, '68. Even at that young age, I knew those roles were stereotypical. Hattie McDaniel won the supporting actress Oscar, and another great African-American actress was in it, Butterfly McQueen. They were such great actresses, despite the straitjacket of those stereotypes, they were able to put some of their humanity into it. Now, both Gone with the Wind and Cold Mountain romanticize the South. But we're going backward if Gone with the Wind is more progressive than Cold Mountain. Gone with the Wind was made in 1939. In 2004 we're not even in it? We're going backward. I don't understand it.
