On Monday, August 8, 2005, the day following <[Peter Jennings>]’s death from lung cancer, Olbermann revealed on-air that he had had a benign, fibrous tumor removed from the roof of his mouth just ten days earlier. In an explicit and controversial monologue, he attributed his tumor (and the resulting fear and pain) directly to his 27-year habit of smoking pipes and cigars. He vigorously urged his viewers not to wait until they see symptoms to quit. “Do whatever you have to do to stop smoking - now. While it’s easier.” According to <[Don Imus>] on the following morning’s <[Imus In The Morning>] broadcast, that statement nearly got Olbermann fired.

In an explicit and controversial monologue, he attributed his tumor (and the resulting fear and pain) directly to his 27-year habit of smoking pipes and cigars. He was taken to task inthe blogosphere for trying to make the story about himself the day after news veteran Peter Jennigs passed away from lung cancer. According to <[Don Imus>] on the following morning’s <[Imus In The Morning>] broadcast, that statement nearly got Olbermann fired.

1. Olbermann gets the last laugh as his show zooms higher in its ratings

2. Who the fuck thought this was a good idea?!

An encyclopedia written by anyone with a computer putting his or her two cents into the entries--that's the very definition of insanity.

4. You may want to review wikipedia's protocol for producing, adding to,

subtracting from and modifying existing articles. It ain't as easy as it seems and the requirements and qualifications go up with each sleasze attempt.

5. Most (not all) people try to live up to (or down to) expectations.

I think it's wise to expect the best and prepare for the worst ... rather than expecting the worst. We often get what we expect ... so it might as well be the best.
