Are You Watching? (Not According to the Ads)
Are you watching the greatest news and political analysis on tv?
I’m talking, of course, about the Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC. Rachel is extremely smart, hilariously funny, gracious and polite to even the guests with whom she totally disagrees, and I have to say, totally hot. Apparently before becoming the first out lesbian to host […]
