Rachel,
Killer Kodoogan, or Phil the Loud, who was highlighted on last night's show made his debut on a Ren and Stimpy episode. Just google "stimpy wrester".
You're show is the key-lime cheesecake of my day.
Hi Rachel:
I have been a long-time fan of your show & greatly appreciate the information nuggets that your provide which are not available on other TV shows. However, I am puzzled as to why you keep going to the Washington Post well (e.g. Eugene Robinson & Ezra Klein) so frequently when they haven't said anything unique / gone against the conventional wisdom in a long time. Would recommend other bloggers/commentators e.g. Glenn Greenwald, Andrew Sullivan, Cenk U, Ari M. etc. who have more original / unique opinions.
From the list u give she might as well keep on calling those two. How about she bring on other people who don't agree with her opinions. Republicans are not the only ones who disagree with her.
How about running an annoying crawl on the screen listing all the consumer products that produce profits that land in the Koch brothers pockets? You could run it with every story about them and then the viewers could decide if they want to continue to buy them and contribute to their dastardly deeds. Thanks, Go Spartan's, yeah I'm that old!
Just a general comment: The volume on MSNBC on TimeWarner is TERRIBLE. The volume goes way up then way down, then way up again. It's worse it seems to me on the Rachel Maddow show, but other show on MSNBC have it as well. NO other channel on TimeWarner cable tv has this problem as far as I can tell. It is VERY annoying.
There, end of rant.
Maybe contact your provider? We use TW and have no problems.

Hi Rachel,
Just wanted to drop you and line and tell you how much I love your show..I was a fan of CNN but I found that they go what ever direction the wind blows good or bad. I was not happy watching CNN...
And then I found Rachel...
You are a person I feel who is true to herself and true to others no matter if its popular or not. When watching your show you teach and inform people to help them make good decision.
So I am happy to call myself a new fan...and if you are reading this and wondering if you should do the same...I say yes she is funny and honest...and that says alot.
I am not a person who can be tricked...I know the truth..and the truth is...you have a great show and keep up the good work.
Remember...I will be watching..with all your other fans....promise you will never change.
Rachel...always keepin it real...
oops...I forgot spell check...oh well....see you Rachel!
