Caption Me / 'Lizz Free or Die'

Have been under the weather the last 48 hours or so -- President Obama's announcement certainly helped cheer me up, though -- but wanted to explain my spotty blogging this week. Not only do I have a cold and fever, my recently recovered left heel seems to have blown out on me again -- it happened at the most logical time of my intense six-week return to the gym: walking to Pret-a-Manger ... to buy a salad -- so I spent an hour on the table at my local podiatrist/abortion clinic getting a new round of cortisone shots and physical therapy. (Not fun.) Hoping to feel better soon ... wanted to run limp out to buy Lizz Winstead's new essay collection, "Lizz Free or Die," which comes out today! Check out this sweet interview from last night's show -- did you know Lizz gave Rachel Maddow her first break, hiring her as a personality for Air America? Watch HERE.
