Oh my. I have died and gone to nerdy politcal junkie heaven. Just look at this site. Look at it! It's overwhelmingly delicious with all it's charts, graphs, what if projections and breakdowns. Oh love. Oh heart. Oh happiness.

Things I Love - The Rachel Maddow Show
MSNBC's new program: The Rachel Maddow Show
Olbermann is too partisan for me, sometimes. I mean, he's very O'Reilly-esque in his vehement anti O'Reilly-ism. Like that documentary I watched back in college that showed that David Duke and Louis Farrahkan were so divisive they were eerily similar in their bigotry and speech (The Shadow of Hate). Anyway, a more thoughtful yet clearly left leaning show is the new "Rachel Maddow Show" on MSNBC. I truly love this program. Unlike many of the other shows on the 24 hour news networks--Fox, CNN & the other ones on MSNBC--this one offers thoughtful, non-vitriolic and thorough commentary.

The show airs at 9pm on MSNBC during the week and repeats after live airing at different times.
Things I Love - MOBA
One of the things I love in Boston is very close by to where I live. It's not technically in Boston; it's in Dedham. The Dedham Community Theatre houses one of Boston's best treasures: the Museum of Bad Art. The MOBA should not be confused with Boston's Museum of Fine Art (also a favorite place) but once you see the collection, there's no chance of confusion.
Recently, WBUR, the local NPR station did a feature on the MOBA, which has now expanded to the Somerville Theatre as well. Both the Somerville and Dedham MOBAs are located in the lobby outside of the men's bathroom.
Story at WBUR is here.
