But, a word of caution:
Still, Ms. Maddow smiled when told that some viewers say they turn to her as a source of sanity. “My standard response to that is, ‘That is a gossamer thread — you need to work on that in your life!’” she said, laughing. “I’m a TV show, and you shouldn’t depend on me. Anything can happen. Build up other sources of sanity.”

Maybe watch for 20 minutes. Missing something? I dunno, she's entertaining and a quick wit. Just don't expect to get any real news there. It's all one-sided Liberal stuff. I'm Liberal (I guess) but I like news not spoon fed opinion that is preaching to the choir.

He may be proof that one CAN smoke to much weed. Actually he is funny and I agree with a lot of his stuff. I think he's anti gun and I know he made bullshit claims and disrespected Steve Irwin no long after Erwin's death.
