Shout out to Mrs. Maddow (Rachel's Mom)...because I know she reads the blog from time to time. Mrs. Maddow, PLEASE tell your daughter for me that I am beyond thrilled about her new tv show. I cannot wait for it. She and Keith are a great 1-2 punch! Oh and tell her to stock on the vitamins because she will need them with all the work she's got on her plate. :-)

Rachel, as for advice...please keep the soft underbelly, bring on Kent and show off that sense of humor of yours (it is wonderful to see you just crack up like any other person would...like tonight when Pat Buchanan got schooled about WHO leads the panel...patented Rachel head/desk moment). Other than that, just keep telling the truth and keep focusing on the the really important things, not the distractions that the spin-meisters would rather us get stuck on.
