Today's TRMS
Today's show will feature a very special reading from Winnie the Pooh that relates to foreign policy (you'll have to listen to find out how) and the Rachel Maddow Show debut of a video made by Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) that professes his, um, largeness.
Rachel's guests today are David Bender, host of Air America's Sunday show Politically Direct, and Paul Rieckhoff, executive director of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.

Edith Macefield: May she rest in peace
Perhaps you all may recall a Kent Jones piece from a while back where he praised Edith Macefield, an elderly woman from the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle who refused to sell her home -- even for $1 million -- to a company building a mixed-use development on her block. So, the developer redesigned the building around her home, and she cranked up the opera to drown-out the construction noise.
At age 86, she passed away on Sunday.

The world needs more people like you, Edith.
