some spectators say they believe in mistycism and mermaids, of course, are certainly possible and mystical and mythical. as are all sorts of other underwater creatures. in the meantime, the town's website is asking people to come up with a name for the mermaid should she be spotted. it could lead some skeptics to wonder if the chamber of commerce had anything to do with the original mermaid report. >> oh, i wonder. i wonder. all right. maybe it -- maybe we can tell you about a mermaid. >> if she sought there somewhere, let's hope she exists in eryone's imagination. >> that's all we have for you now.

soon fix health care but it's not a long-term deal, and perhaps -- i don't mean that to sound mess mystic because i can only be an opt miss to do this work but the policy victories are momentary re-arrangements of power. political victories are momentary re-arrangements of power. the number one thing to enshire a progressive country is to enshire we have generations of young people who are prepared to ask questions, and that requires some humility. that doesn't necessarily come naturally to lot of us. i work on it, as my staff can attest. i thick requires more humility that we need to make sure that people are asking questions. so i spend a lot of time in the book detailing the threats to inquiry as i see them. whether it's our addiction to self-help or unreasonable expectations of our elected lead efforts, the way we think about public education and filling in the right bubbles, and our ask-not consumerism, and i explore these in depth, from the internet which i think -- i shouldn't use a brand name -- where google is another search engine. it can be your preferred search engine, are rea

the mystic chords of memory stretching from battlefield to every heart of heart stone all over this broad land will span the course of the union touched as surely as they will be by the better angels of our nature. my very great pleasure to once again greet my dear friend rachel maddow. good evening, rachel, good evening, keith, thank you. >> and thank you at home for staying with us. tonight we will look at the latest from some of the folks who have been getting extra rich thanks to the health care system staying just the way it is. senator barbara boxer will be joining us as will former health insurance executive wendall potter and the radical anti-abortion movement is trying to turn the accused assassin of dr. george tiller into one of its leaders and rod blagojevich gets caught on tape again in a totally new unnerving way. all coming up this hour but we begin tonight with the ferocious campaign to kill health care reform in this country and an investigation into who is really behind t.out of all the kooky conspiracy theories being peddled right now about health care reform, that healt

[laughter] >> so i don't mean to sound mystical or anything like that, but i am grateful for seriousritical attention, but when someone sends me a book or peace or something, i thank them but i don't read it. >> i have never heard anyone call you that. >> nuts and bolts question. some authors are absolutely categorical about writing one page a day or 2000 words, or whatever it is and stopping. others just go with the flow, whatever. their imagination brings, they write long, they write short, depending on the day and the topic and the rest. do you have a pattern? >> i think the important role is to work, go to work like everyone else does, every day. and if you miss a day, and it usually takes you two days to pick up. there are a lot of little rules. hemingway was a great psychologist of writing. and he gave an interview in the paris review many years ago to george clinton. he said we stop when we know what is coming next. a very simple idea. and never reback more than a page or two before you begin the day's work. so many riders, they have 1500 pages, they sit down and read them all

these are very bad signs and i'm not at all oopt mystic about how this is going to end in terms of violence though i think obama is going to win the day in terms of most americans. the problem is we're not talking about most americans but a small, angry group of white people who, you know, to paraphrase bart simpson, the election broke their brains. they're angry. and they are ready to do just about anything to stop the process at this point because they'd rather see us all lose than admit defeat. that's where they're at. >> one reason i wanted to talk to you tonight is because what you describe as the potential this could be a coded message. what we're seeing here is language from some members of congress, from some people who are considered to be relatively main stream, within conservative politics, but we're also seeing it from movement organizers, from people who are organized, like this americans for prosperity group is a very well connected group. we have the president of that organization on the show last night. he's a former political strategist partner of ralph reed, these people,

the sort of thing that tony blankly and others will defend now and you've mystically call enhanced interrogation techni e techniqu techniques. somebody who shares my name knew it was torture and found it abhorrent, his words. >> i want you to look at the vice president a couple days after 9/11. i think he was giving guidance to all these agents and operatives. i don't think they were operating on their own. here we go. here is the vice president a couple days after 9/11. >> we also have to work the sort of the dark side. we have to spend time in the shadows in the intelligence world. a lot of what needs to be done here will have to be done quietly without any discussion using sources and methods that are available to our intelligence agencies if we're going to be successful. that's the world these folks operate in, and so it's going to be vital for us to use any means at our disposal basically to achef achieve our objective. >> any means at our disposal. if i was an operative and heard that i would feel fairly liberal in what i was allowed to do to get info from the bad guys. >> i agree with you

mary, for whom eunice had a unique affection, a unique relationship of prayer and the almost mystical the mother of god. mary, who inspired eunice to become like christ and christ who inspired eunice to become like mary. in fact, her children tell me that her devotion was so great that she had 38 images of mary in her bedroom. for we can hear in the words spoken by mary in the gospel this morning, words that were lived by eunice in her action and in her unpretentiousness, in action which is love. for he who is mighty has done great things for me and holy is his name. and his mercy is on those who fear him from generation to generation. he has shown strength with his arm and he has scattered the proud and their conceit. he has put down the mighty from their thrones and has exalted those of low degree. he has filled the hungry with good things and the rich he sent empty away. he has helped his servant, israel, in remembrance of his mercy. as he spoke to our ancestors, to abraham and to his posterity forever. stop! let us be silent. enough thinking. enough anxiety. let us pray, rememberi
