that lots of people on my staff today thought i made up, but is actually real historical tape that is coming up right at the end of the show. the whole staff is somewhere between shock and excited about that. that's the best new thing. that's ahead. also, still to come tonight, we have a programing note that i dare say you might want to tell somebody about on the facebook machine or the twitter machine or something, if i can be so bold as to suggest that. this is going to be the first announcement about this anywhere. it is about something that msnbc is going to the as a network next week. i'm going to be hosting it. but it's an msnbc project. it premiers next week. and i think it is going to cause a bit of a political stir. i will tell you what it is in just a minute.
