I don't watch much TV, so I don't know who this Keith Olberman guy is, but his ~9 minute commentary on 9/11 and the 5 years since is a scathing thing of beauty. I'm going to try to get this video to embed, but if it doesn't work, here's the direct link to youtube.

In which the classic Twilight Zone episode "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" is cited, which is darned cool.

At some point, I'll watch this, but until then, an obligatory troll. ♥

Hope your day is going ok.

That type of troll amuses me, as do the kind with big hair that kids used to put on the ends of their pencils.

I've been running late all week, but luckily, it hasn't been that big a deal.

I definitely have weeks like that too. ^^

Thanks for the video link. I had read a transcript of this, but since I watch no tv, I hadn't seen the video. :)

Pretty bold speech...

Keith Olberman used to be a news anchor for Sports Center on ESPN which I still watch regularly. He was there about the time Craig Kilborn was also a news anchor there (predecessor to Jon Stewart for the Daily Show who used the clip from Riki-Oh for his 5 Questions segment).

Here's another one of his clips that I relished, probably because I despise O'Reilly so much. Yon, oddly, was fond of him, but I used to refer to him as 'that jackass' any time I was over there and I caught Yon watching the O'Reilly Factor.

Wow, RAtM, eh? I've always loved them, but I didn't take you to be a Rage kind of person.

What can I say? I like my "angry white man" music.
