Today's TRMS
We hope you all enjoyed Rachel filling in for David Gregory on Race for the White House tonight. But have no fear, there are still two more live hours of the Rachel Maddow Show coming up. On today's show Rachel will be talking to Steve Benen from the Carpetbagger Report about whether or not Obama is actually hitting McCain hard enough to win a presidential contest. And then David Bender will be here talking about Obama's week long vacation and whether or not he thinks it's a good thing for the tired candidate. Finally, Rachel welcomes Juan Cole back to the program. We want to know if the reports of a final agreement on a time line-- yes, you heard me, a time line-- has been reached between the Iraqi government and the Bush Administration.

Mazda and what RX means
Your ponderings about where Mazda'a RX naming convention comes from made me really curious.
Apparently it stands for Rotary Experimental since the 1967 R100 featured a Wankle Engine, at the time a somewhat experimental rotary engine. The RX-7 etc. has carried the same engine type and therefore designation since then. Very sporty engine but not so good for your gas mileage.
Thanks for the google search itch... and thanks so, so much for the show. Always informative and thoughtful.
