This season is the 30th since the Alex Trebek-hosted revival of Jeopardy! debuted in 1984. To celebrate, the producers of the show are inviting 15 contestants from each of the three decades to compete in a special tournament.

As you may know, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau head Richard Cordray was actually a 5-time champion on Jeopardy! back in 1987 and made the semifinals of his season's Tournament of Champions. And now, he's one of the 14 producers' picks to represent the first decade in the tournament. (The last contestant for each of the three decades will be determined by public vote.)

Cordray's mini-bio (and those of his competitors) can be found at:

I just saw a quick news item on the evening news.

A significant development tonight in Kentucky's U.S. Senate race. Three weeks after Republican Rand Paul claimed a 15-point lead in the WHAS-11/Courier-Journal Bluegrass Poll, Democrat Jack Conway has closed the gap now, and the race is now a statistical dead heat. The poll of likely voters has Paul at 49% and Conway at 47%, within the survey's theoretical margin of sampling error. Conway is up 7 points, Paul is down 6 compared to an identical poll just three weeks ago. It is the first time Conway has been polled above 45% in our poll, and the first time Paul has polled below 51%.

The Bluegrass Poll was conducted by SurveyUSA. According to the on-screen graphics, 4% were undecided. The margin of error was +/- 4%.

This is awesome news. Conway's made up 13 points in just 3 weeks. Let's keep this momentum going!

Thank you, Chris Hayes!

Thanks to Chris Hayes, filling in for Rachel Maddow tonight, for pushing back against false equivalencies.

Nancy Snyderman had Republican strategist Joe Watkins on her MSNBC program following President Obama's speech to school children Tuesday afternoon. Watkins' reaction was basically "the president is such a good speaker, children might believe him in the future when he says something, and we don't want to have to talk with them about it". In other words, by being reasonable, Obama has already indoctrinated them.

KY-SEN: Another Positive Poll

Thank you, Chris Hayes!

Of all the reactions to the education speech, this might be the dumbest.
