I miss the days when Rachel would have Ana Marie Cox on the show because the flirting between them was so hot and not at all subtle.

Oh, I LIKE Melissa Harris-Perry, very much....as a guest. I just don't like anyone else as a guest host. Since I hardly watch any tv, and I actually stop what I am doing sometimes to go to the tv and put Maddow on, I get bummed when it isn't her.

When I see that her goofy, nerd self is off fishing with her Dad again, while I am home in Jersey waiting to be entertained after a long, hard day in the sand box, I get cranky. Well, OK....maybe part of that could also be because my own Dad inconsiderately left the planet before I was ready for him to do so.

PS-I obviously actually think she deserves a ton more money, staff and vacations. I think it is great when she mentions Susan, her dog, her parents and little stuff from her dyke life. To me that's part of the charm of seeing one of my own up there on the "tv machine". ;)
