    Ahem. That's "MacArthur Fellowship." There's no such thing as a "genius grant," as the foundation takes pains to point out . . . to millions of deaf ears.

    The motion, however, is seconded.

    Oh, and credit where it's due: Brad Rosen was the first poster of the Maddow clip, and I found out about it through Al Chow.
