You really are a good photographer AKM- and the story was well- it was you- so unassuming in your presence, yet so deliberate in the details. You can really tell a story. And do it well.

Good question… where is buttercup? Not that I really care, but… makes me think of a “prank” someone pulled at an outhouse out in the boonies back when I was in high school… the seat was replaced with a thin veneer… when a hapless person happened by, ummm… well, you get the picture.

Great pictures! The control room looks amazing. I toured the CNN studios in Atlanta once but didn’t get this up and close. What a hoot that Rachel is! Lol!

Hope you get caught up and back to your normal routines soon.

You writing about your adrenaline rush is giving me an adrenaline rush! That’s why I read your blog–you convey facts and emotions equally well.

@ 34 Kath the Scrappy

Thank you SO much for posting the link to “Republican Pizza”!

I loved how she turned aside and ordered it, anyway.

You all have NO idea of the dimensions to which my head would be in danger of swelling, to find out that someone I respect as much as I do Ms. Maddow not only read my blog, but actually remembered doing so….

…well, after someone fetched me some smellin’ salts, of course.

Dear Rachel:

That which you do is so vitally important. You’re shedding light and clarity in the murky miasma that is American Politics. That you can perform with such consistent cordiality in the face of the calculating obfuscation, blatant lying and sheer stupidity that seemingly permeates the public discourse today, only enhances my respect for you.

I realize that your particular code of honor demands that you show respect to those less intellectually gifted than you are, but sometimes (as my dear, sainted Mother used to say): Stupid needs smackin’.

(May I suggest you start with Tucker? Not that he’s at all relevant, but he seems to enjoy it so, setting himself up for it every chance he gets…. )

Thank you for being an excellent (if sadly isolated) example of intelligent media.
