Fuck Yeah Rachel Maddow

When asked at Smith College if she had advice for young people thinking of running for public office, Rachel Maddow replied “Do it.”

"I enjoy Rachel Maddow for many reasons, but my favorite thing about her is how she reads the news like she's telling you a bedtime story. Wednesday night on her show, Maddow reported on the silver linings of this election which ranged from the legalization of marijuana in Alaska and Oregon to the fact that Scott Brown lost. However, my favorite story was a rather delightful tale about a man named Tom Butt and his $45,000 in campaign funds beating the Chevron Corporation and their $3 million attempt at buying seats in Richmond, CA. Also, the Mayor of Richmond is now named Tom Butt. So gather round and let Mother Goose Maddow relay to you the small but important victories from the nightmare that was the 2014 midterm elections."
