FYI - That House Fire "caused by a mouse" story is bogus
Even the great Obermann fell for it - I'm sure he'll do a retraction.

Claim: A mouse set a house on fire after the homeowner threw the rodent into a pile of burning leaves.

Status: False.

1. To his defense,
Keith does not put together the Oddball stories - that is done by his staff. But you're right - he'll do a retraction, probably tonight.

(don't forget the "L": Olbermann :) )

A proud member of the KOEB. :loveya:

3. He does read them well
I can tell when Olbermann has a substitute that the writing is the same for the Oddball stories, but his substitutes often fail in the delivery which Keith excels at.

Hey Admins - Need to add "Olbermann" to spell check good words :-)

2. Will CNN do a retraction?
They said it too.
