Holy mackerel. Cay, who asked the Ask Dr. Maddow question about classic cocktails -- has mashed up my weeklong answer from the show, and set it to music, and sort-of animated it all into a video. I love the internets, I love love love the internets, and TRMS listeners. Check it out: Rachel

There are a lot of planes flying in US air space. At any given moment the only thing preventing them from crashing into each other is the air traffic control system.

So on today's show Rachel talks to Michael Boyd, an aviation expert.And then Rachel will be talking to Newsweek's Johnathan Alter about his latest political scoop and John Amato from Crooks and Liars...

Did I Imagineer This?
Mon, Mar 24
This weekend I dropped a really big rock on my hand, and gave my ring finger knuckle the finger equivalent of a black eye. Because I am clumsy and am constantly doing things like this to myself, I have often imagined how cool it would be to have a sort of exoskeleton thingie that would deploy airbags around my body when I'm about to hurt myself, much as the airbags in a car deploy in the event of a crash.Now some crazy Japanese company has gone and done it... Worst job ever nomination:...

The War in Iraq and Life During War Time, the 5th Anniversary
Thu, Mar 20
RACHEL MADDOW: " Well worth the effort? Because things are great. You got the front-page of the Washington Post talking about the strategy finally starting to succeed – you got John McCain talking about how we’re winning in Iraq, and how we therefore cannot leave – you got Dick Cheney saying it’s been well worth the effort, and this stuff gels in our mind, right?

Pencils and boston shakers ready! After yesterday's Ask Dr. Maddow question from Cay about 1950s cocktails, and the nicely heterogeneous response here to my on-air question about which cocktail recipe you guys would most like to hear me explain on the air, I think I'm going to throw caution to the wind, and just give y'all the basic recipes for all (if not, most) of my list of the six most popular drinks of the 1950s -- but I'll do 'em fast-like, so I want you to be prepared if you're really...

Here is an image that should concern every American who would like to see a Democrat in the White House next year.

Why the Heck Is McCain Still Doing Fine
Tue, Mar 18
RACHEL MADDOW: "I got something else to add to my quiver of incoherence’s that I’ve been lugging around with me about John McCain. McCain’s in Iraq right? He’s been in Iraq the last couple of days. On the day of the giant 50 people killed Karbala bombing, he says that the reduction in violence in Iraq, and the success there is just stunning to him.
