29. You don't do a bad job of getting your point across, either. Are you in some form of media?

I like many of the new MSNBC shows and particularly those three. Rachel still irritates me by repeating her point in 3 different ways before she truly gets to the interesting portion and I find myself switching channels. I hate it when I do that because I truly admire the job she does. There's a word for that type of delivery, but I can't force it out of my brain at this time.

I will say that I admire her for standing up to the likes of the Koch brothers and their lawyers. I just fear for her safety...actually, for all their safety. Now, with all the controversy over Bridgegate, I'm especially concerned. Rough treatment seems to be the norm. Then, again, Rachel has proven to us that she isn't afraid of bullies.
