It was announced today that Rachel Maddow will have her own show on MSNBC starting September 8th. The show will start at 9PM Eastern (8PM my time) right after Countdown with Keith Olbermann.
That’s it. The vigil can end. The gods have listened! My prayers have been answered! I will now be spending two straight hours glued to the television every weeknight. Well, one hour glued and the next hour glued and swooning.
Congrats, Rachel! You deserve it.
Anyone who reads this blog or knows me personally knows that I am pretty much in the tank for Senator Barack Obama. Barring some astronomical revelation that would completely dilute my belief that he would make the best commander and chief, it is pretty much safe to say that Senator Obama has my vote.
Having said that, within ten minutes of Rev. Rick Warren’s questioning of John McCain during the live forum tonight, I found myself saying, “Oh crap.” Senator McCain came off lucid, spiritual, intelligent, presidential and funny. He told stories that would wet the eye and make most Americans swell with patriotism. All in all, he was very very good. I hate to say it, but it’s true.
Now, it’s easy to come off smooth and charismatic when you are not in the line of fire, and McCain is known for his forays into the area of belligerence and quick anger. And things may not play out very well come debate time. But tonight, he was damn near perfect, not his ideals or policies, because I do not agree with everything he says. However, if I were one of McCain’s constituents or someone who may have been on the fence about him, I would definitely be proud of the job he did tonight.
If he comes off as well during the upcoming debates, Obama and the Democratic party may be in trouble.

Waldo tries to cleverly disguise himself in a yellow sportscoat and baby blue sweater. Trust me, DO NOT LET THIS MAN ON THE PLANE. He is a highly trained operative known in the terrorist underworld as The Chameleon. One minute he’s there, the next minute he’s dissolved into the crowd and you will waste precious minutes trying to find him while his compatriots are ignored and left to carry out their nefarious objectives.
