Thank you for all of your great suggestions for tonight's Rachel Maddow show, which I'll be guest hosting. They've been incredible and, as you can see from the emerging lineup, we're listening: Google CEO Eric Schmidt will join me to discuss the ways Obama can harness the Internet to make his administration more effective. Bill Maher will discuss the day's top stories. Newark mayor Cory Booker will weigh in on the impact the economic crisis is having on America's inner cities. And FiveThirtyEight.com's Nate Silver will crunch the latest numbers in the still-pending Senate races. Click here for some real time video of me behind-the-scenes at the show -- and be sure to tune in tonight at 9 pm on MSNBC.
Democrats' ambivalence about aggression has been as much their downfall in prior elections as their irrational commitment to rationality -- their belief that good ideas sell themselves.
Barack Obama's Hyde Park home is destined to become a national landmark. When I lived there between 1969 and 1973 the mansion was a hub of social activism.
In show business, Bill O'Reilly on Fox News Channel excoriates not only his time-slot rival Keith Olbermann, but the execs of NBC. In truth, the two networks have been virtual lovers for more than a year.

It's pretty unclear if the latest version of Bond could handle Foreign Policy's "The List: Five Real Missions for 007." Back in the real world, here's what I'd love a secret agent to do.
The job in the new administration that best fits my needs is Ambassador to Italy. I think it would be a good fit. I love Italian wine, and I had a great time the one trip I took to Rome.
Since election day, the number of threats against the president-elect, and racial or violent incidents directed at his supporters, have soared, and the Secret Service is concerned.
Americans everywhere will continue to have sympathy with all those who suffer in your fires, but if you want us to take your claims to being 'green' seriously, start getting your suicidal groundwater abuse under control, California.

To achieve the green goal of dealing with overpopulation, it's necessary to mix some oestrogen into the environmentalist palette.
This is not a center-right country! In the last two elections Democrats picked up over fifty seats in the House, took control of the Senate and the White House. How much clearer can it be?
Let's get the most out of it. Every Monday morning quarterback looks to see what we learned. What did that, big Tuesday game of Nov. 4 teach us? Where are we now? What's different?

Has anything BushCo's ever done benefitted the people or the country? Just admit it: we've been robbed, beaten and stabbed. Those are just the facts, Detective Obama.
Most Americans think you have brought this disaster upon yourselves, with inferior, irrelevant products the past 35 years.
