1. Another great show! Doris Goodwin renewed my optimism.

2. I know! And she's a favorite of mine, too!

She's a wonderful historian and had a front row seat on quite a bit since working for LBJ. I was lucky to see her in person when her book "Team of Rivals" about Lincoln came out - I went to hear her speak and went to a reception beforehand where I was able to get her book and she signed it! She really is a national treasure!

3. Very cool.

4. Samantha Bee has a great companion piece to Bill's rant on senators/ reprersentation:

"Why Republicans Always Win."
