Okay, I'm weird for noticing... But, Rachel Maddow is askew...

I've noticed for for a week or more that Rachel is presenting to the camera kind of sideways... Favoring her right side to the camera, rather than head on. Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed?

It's perfectly fine... But, noticeable to me.

Any thoughts other than I need to get a life and pay attention to more important stuff?

... I remember her talking about it on the show... But, I mostly listen to her via podcast and don't see her.

I have noticed that if you simply adjust your antenna (rabbit ears) to the west ever so slightly, Rachel rotates into her more normal head-on appearance...

because as an artist I was watching where the hard and soft edges were falling on her face near her nose (I do that often) and I noticed she kept in one position which had a hard edge always on the right. I wasn't sure why and now I understand. I'm sorry that she felt the need to do that as we all don't really care about a bandaid. Maybe letting it show would give more awareness to skin cancer.

And found it odd. She did a long chat at the beginning of her show about skin cancer, after she had the surgery. She encouraged people to talk to their doctor about any skin changes, so don't know why she's being shy now.

Maybe its something else.
