Happy 236th birthday America; you're young, vital and a force for good in the world!
Here's wishing you, your family and friends a fun and safe celebration of our independence. And a special thanks to the men and women serving in our military!
The Ed Show is taking the day (night) off, but we'll be back tomorrow (Thursday) at 8pET sharp on MSNBC. See you then!

This little Korean girl is 5 years old. She's been blind from birth. She has been playing piano since she could reach the keyboard at 3. Needless to day, she can't read music; she can't even see the keys. But if she hears a piece of music once, he can play it...

Someone at MSNBC should inform MELISSA HARRIS-PERRY that the 4th of July is not the time to PISS on the history of the birth on this nation with her personal toxic commentary. To further enrage the folks at MSNBC. While Melissa was making her acid remarks, FOX (the people you hate) gave tribute to room full of extremely disabled veterans (like full amputations, disfiqured bodies) on a live 4th July program. These people gave nothing but an out pouring of tribute to their country and felt their mangled bodies where a tribute to ideals the Constitution. While they were being honored, MSNBC was playing prison yard reruns ! Thank you Melissa Harris-Perry for your inspiring comments. .
