Don't leave us alone tonight - do join us for the show!
Here's executive producer Bill Wolff with a preview of tonight's show:





I have never seen a bad TRMS show. But if there is a Bigfoot, than I guess they must also exist.
Bill Wolff is so handsome and romantic. I'm going to start coughing into my sleeve, just in case.
I think you got it bad. I only come here to read the intelligent, honest, and well thought out articles. Not to stare into those sexy brown eyes. However my wife wants to know if she could get a signed poster of Bill in a muscle shirt. Women can be so shallow.
P-2,
Does Bill really have brown eyes? I hadn't noticed. Sooooo, what intelligent posts have you read from the three of us?
We will come up with something intelligent. You just have to look deeper. You got a magnifying glass ?
Wait a minute! I just saw a big furry thing walk by my window. Now it is ringing my door bell. Oh hi grandma. Still not proven. However saying TRMS show is pretty bad. That would be The Rachel Maddow Show show ?
Your "Don't leave us alone ..." link had me expecting this.
Wow, Bill, one never knows what to expect from your musical library. Therefore, here's one for AIG from me...another one?
Was that tune based around the WWI vets sit-in on Washington DC demanding their promised support after that war? Did not the government then send in the army to bet them up? See, we not dumb. Did you check out the centerfold on that site? Oh la la !
It is the right time of the night.

Hi Rachel, The Republicans seem to want to use the dept ceiling to get entitlement cuts. Pres. Obama should make the Republicans pass the jobs bill in exchange for those cuts. Obama can then cut all of the entitlements to corporations, oil companies, and drug companies. The safety net benefits to the poor and elderly should not be reduced by any amount. But, reform efforts to make the program more effective should be pursued. Somebody please tell our Pres. to do this. Republicans, put up or shut up.
Regarding assault weapons; not sure where the hunting rationalization originate. It has never been about hunting, it is about fear of a "tyrannical government" and one's ability to protect one's self from it. Examples I have come across are Ruby Ridge and Waco, TX. The second amendment is used as a legalistic argument but is not really relevant. Here is a statement attributed to Thomas Jefferson which is popular:
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government"
"Given all the gun talk lately, Mark Levin opened his show tonight clarifying the purpose of the 2nd amendment saying that it wasn’t for target shooting or hunting or anything else in that realm. He said that whether you like it or not or whether you agree with it or not, the reason why 2nd amendment exists is to arm the population in order to overthrow a tyrannical government. That’s it."

Just listened to the set about "No Women Allowed".... Sounds like Obama need to take a peek at Romney's binders full of women.
Yes, nothing like some good old fashion reverse sexism, Bring in a women, not becuase she is the best, no, but just because she is a woman. Sad
I love you Rachel but I feel the need to defend MEN. I want more diversity. I want women and minorities to run for office and fill cabinet positions. I want more female bosses. However, WHITE MEN can still work. They still have things to offer. Sometimes the 'debate' is all about how their time is 'passed'. It makes me uncomfortable. I want equality AND the best person for the job. Why do I have to feel I'm not standing up for my gender when I think like that?
Rachel, always enjoy your show. RE tonight's commentary on the Shell Oil rig and why they moved it. It will be great to hear you remind Shell that, in addition to the costs of getting the rig off of the ALASKAN BEACH and back to safe waters, the Company should be happy to know that it's tax bill will be in the mail. LOL.
Steve would you mind posting the graph Rachel used tonight, of Sunlight Foundation returns on investment info (re NRA) - would like to get it out there on Twitter
